@dragnucs @antranigv tbh i'm not even sure "high level" and "low level" mean much. Note, that both languages I mentioned aren't supposed to be written by hand. Both serve as intermediate languages in a compilation pipeline.

But C isn't a low-level language for that huge reason that the C standard imposes requirements and restrictions on C evaluation machine that resemble nothing like physical processors.

So yeah, when people talk about C or Rust or whatever being "low level" or "portable assembly" (lmao!), they are probably full of shit.
