From all "HLLs", C is probably the lowest, but from the ASSEMBLER coders
viewpoint, this is good, not bad:

you always know very well, what machine code will be produced out of your C code
- there are no hidden secrets. At least, that's my opinion.

And, see my previous post: you can easily use well-known algorithms from
libraries or books (even in other languages, it's easy to translate f.e. FORTRAN
or PASCAL to C, even PL/1), even if they are recursive. In that sense, C is a
HLL.

Kind regards
