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

C is considered an HLL?
