I'm glad you added the qualifier "almost" because, even in low-level C, you're typically sitting on about 4 layers of abstraction:

- flukus 10y agoThat's what I'd call a good abstraction. You can write in c, debug in c and very rarely (if ever) be forced to know what the lower layers are doing. All these javascript and css transpilers however, they force you to know the higher level, the lower level and many of the intricacies of how one translates to the other.
