They actually have Python over C in regards to memory usage. (!?!)
serious contender for similar reasons that C is not a serious contender for a lot of software development tasks - because there are other very important factors such as development time, verification and validation, extensibility and maintenance.
I like and use C a lot, but it's not "the most efficient programming language" for all forms of efficiency. Depending on the job, some other forms of efficiency matter more than eeking out that extra 1% of performance or resource optimization.

? C is #3 on their memory list, and Python is #12 on the list for memory usage.
I haven't done much programming in pure C, but I thought this article was interesting. It says C is the most efficient programming language as far as power consumption, speed, and memory usage:
