The C programming language is

A list I just was reading (about FORTH implementations) just called C "low-level", and I don't think that's true? :blobeyesdown:

@vaporeon_ high and low are relative terms but from most perspectives, c is very low level. it's not absurd to have a perspective from which c is high level, however

@aescling @vaporeon_ as most things we do happen on a higher level, c becomes comparatively lower

@monorail @aescling @vaporeon_ I kinda prefer "higher/lower level" to high/low level, for making it explicit that it's relative.

@aescling @monorail Exactly! That might be where I got the idea that it's a high-level language...

I guess it really depends on perspective / requirements, though
