Lets play a game of what ISO C can do, and no other systems programming language has similar feature available?
If language extensions to ISO C are allowed, then same goes for my selection on competing systems languages.

Yes, most languages allow C type code, if that’s what you are trying to do.
Java with only primitive values, arrays, and classes only with fields and static methods.
But that wouldn’t be idiomatic Java, so typically non-explicit abstractions such as polymorphism have code generated for them that you don’t have explicit control over.
C is consistently low level because that’s all you get. Down to direct access to addressing and RAM, the stack frame, etc. as with assembly.
