No, C will not go extinct in the foreseeable future.
It is still the predominant language in the embedded world. Even more so, many of the new wave of "standardized" hardware such as Arduino is based on C (or C or C++ hybrids)
And C++ alone will probably keep it alive since every C++ compiler is by definition also a C compiler. (If your sources have *.c extension the compiler will compile it as C)
And there is also an ISO spec now for C specifically (C++ has had one for a long time), namely C99.
C is alive and well!
