> I don't think it was ever claimed that C was a low level language. When I was introduced to C during high school, my teacher presented C as a low-level language compared to what we previously studied (which was Ruby). And I just ate that up because C looked less readable than Ruby, today (10 years later) I have to disagree with my teacher. C is not a low-level language, it has access to the lower level parts, sure. But it is an high level language!
