John McKown's notion that C is a middle-level language has merit. In some respects it is. Better, perhaps, it can be used like assembly language; and when it is I have heard the results described as having "all of the expressive power and all of the portability of assembly language".
In the hands of quondam COBOL programmers it can also, unsurprisingly, be very COBOL-like.
