C does not help you think like a computer. It has no language level support for memory hierarchies or parallelism. It doesn't about know about integer overflow.

  While I disagree with your other claims, I'm especially curious about this one: > no language level support for memory hierarchies By this, I assume you mean cache hierarchies (for example). What languages do?

    None other than various assemblies thanks to the "influence of C" convincing people that a flat (essentially contiguous) endless memory space was "how a computer works"

      Typical assembly languages hardly do anything more with cache hierarchies than C does.
