1990 is calling: "C does not behave as a typical ‘high-level’ language, because it offers a number of features which are more normally associated with ‘low-level’ languages such as assembly language. These include the ability to write data to and from particular memory addresses, facilities for operations on the contents of memory locations, and instructions for incrementing and decrementing integer variables ... Thus C allows the programmer the flexibility and efficiency of working at low level with the advantages of working at high-level, for example the more advanced data structures and program flow controls typical of today’s computer languages. For this reason, C is sometimes described as a ‘high-level low-level language’ or as a ‘low-level high-level language’." - https://archive.org/details/computerprogramm0000ford/page/138/mode/2up?q=%22low-level+high-level+language%22 https://archive.org/details/computerprogramm0000ford/page/13...
