You can find also other statistics that tell different stories (i.e. insights.stackoverflow.com/survey/...).
About C-Language: it is worth remember that UNIX was written in C-Language, and then the Linux kernel and part of Android etc.
C-Language is the ancestor of most of the preminent programming language (C++, Objective-C, Java, JavaScript, PHP, etc) that share quite the same syntax (ad statement level).
Last but not lest C-Language is really a "portable" language. That means that a program written in C for a given platform could be moved on a different platform and just recompiled...
