Embedded systems and C

Why C is the preferred language for embedded systems? Just curious.

No, that is extensions to C which are not always implemented in the same

Yes, you're right, but I have never worked with any compiler which
doesn't make possible to asm insertions. Of course, it doesn't implement
in the same way, but similarly.
