Ah, if only he'd said "What if you program in D?" D is a great language.
Most functional programming languages, they're based on lambda calculus, fundamentally different from C's model of computation. Haskell, Erlang, F#, OCaml, SML, Idris, etc.
C might be used in their implementation though. Eg. Haskell is self hosting (compiler is written in Haskell) but the runtime has a ton of C code. -
Popular languages that I use, that have very little, or nothing to do with C:
Most procedural SQL dialects,

kiki352536yClojure (your programs will have no bugs and be really fast), Scala (scales horizontally as fucking hell), Erlang (the most reliable one, just doesn’t fail)
