I'm still not convinced that there's anything particularly magical about C here. Reliable programs are written by people who:

* understand the problem domain

* know the implementation language and its supporting library

* pay attention to detail

Admittedly, some languages fit some problem domains better than others, but 90% of the time, picking the language you're personally most familiar with will be as good a choice as any.
