You can use C++ :-)
It brings speed comparable to C, very good interoperability with
existing C code, compile time type checking, easy to use class system
(compared to GObject), and good C++ binding (Gtkmm is even designed to
be interoperable).

Granted than the overall resistance from GNOME contributors does not
help (most of it being pure FUD due to lack of knowledge).
