  I have a colleague who insists that the only such subset is C,
straight up, no ++, no #, no Objective, no C-like scripting language.
She insists that if you stick with ANSI C (C89) you will have code that
is highly portable - as long as you stay out of the hardware.  She
considers C90 is just as portable, but is suspicious of C99 as it is
still catching on in some places.
