If you like "intimacy with hardware" you can drop down one level below machine code and design a processor on an FPGA with Verilog. Or, to go even deeper, design a custom circuit with SPICE.
C might be the optimal point on the abstraction ladder as far as the trade off between (exposed) complexity and control.
