This is a myth https://queue.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3212477.3212479

I did not say that C is a low level language. You must have a very weak understanding on this topic.

    i work on the codegen for a C compiler i'm pretty sure my understanding is better than yours <shrug>

    EDIT: and also you've clearly never read that article

    > One of the key attributes of a low-level language is that programmers can easily understand how the language’s abstract machine maps to the underlying physical machine

    so you did exactly imply "C is a low level language"
