I am not exactly sure what you mean by "other unix"
languages but I will answer the question for C.

Graphics/computations can be a very CPU intensive
process.

Most of the unix kernel and daemons are written in the C programming language.

Kernel is the central "core" of unix. Users interact with
the kernel using shells. Calls to the kernel are made directly through the C library.

C can be considered native to unix and thus efficient,
which is probably one the reasons why it is good for
graphics.

What other Unix languages were you thinking of ?

Best Wishes.
