Which one?

That's up to you. The point is, C is NOT that language.

I don't think anyone seriously wants to switch to assembly for the
sort of tasks they want to use C for.

Why not? Assembly provides the kind of control you're looking for; C
does not. If that kind of control is important to you, you have to find
a language which provides it. If not assembler or C, what would you use?
