C is often referred to as a high level assembly language. There are few languages with less overhead (in terms of run-time support). When you are coding to meet certain constraints (performance, real-time time constraints, memory limitations, etc.), C can provide you with code that meets those constraints but which is also (relatively) portable.

Note: Of course C and Assembly are not similar at all.
