@13reak Oh yes, minus the GC (obviously, as C is manual) but purely talking about the similarities in abstraction over modern machines.

Because I came across the concept of a "Lisp machine", and now I am not sure what a modern machine should be called relative to that?

Are modern machines descendants of PDP-11? Because at least after reading the "C Is Not a Low-level Language - Your computer is not a fast PDP-11." article, I can't help but be more confused.
