Another option would be perl.
It can pretty much do anything that C can do with a socket, and is a
lot easier to deal with.
I'm not sure about this, but I'm pretty sure the Win32 port (I hear
that the Activestate port is broken and that the `guru' port is the
one to get, but this is from some `anti M$ unix bigots' (which I'm
probably one of) so take it with a grain of salt) has all the socket
stuff as well, and things should be pretty portable between OS's, even
between Unix and Win32. (There's even perl ports to boxes like the
AS/400, but that's so alien I'd doubt that the socket stuff worked at
all, let alone the same ...)
Ultimately, it all depends on what you're trying to do.
