Not really.. Picking the right language in my opinion is very vital based on your use case. Especially if memory / latency and throughput are very important for what you are building.

For my project after a month in golang, I had to switch to C to avoid the GC pause. It also gave me total control over memory and made best use of CPU.

Will I choose C for every project ?, definitely not but based on what you are building, it is good to make that choice early on in the project.
