This is a rewording of the original title, which is: C Is Not a Low-level Language Your computer is not a fast PDP-11. "Trying to expose a PDP-11" is misleading here, because how it's written in this title suggests that C is not a low level language because it fails at exposing a PDP-11. Rather, the article suggests that modern processors are made in a way to expose abstractions which are similar to a fast PDP-11, which lacks real ways to represent their true complexity. It's an interesting article, but this misleading title might give the wrong idea.
