Hi,
----snip---
Hi
I'm not sure why you'd say that. It is a simple programming language
but is quite remote from most any assembly language I've worked
with. The only higher level languages that I've worked with that
I could say were close to assembly were Forth and LISP. That is
only because there were machines made that were dedicated to
that particular lanuage.
C doesn't fit well onto any of the processors that I've seen lately.
It is always sub-optimal.

What is wrong with C?! :(
Don't get me started.... ;-)
Yes it is not assembly, but it is also much
closer to the
hardware then most of the other structured programming languages
out there!
I've always regarded "C" as more of a "high level macro
assembler", I
personally don't regard it as a high level language as such - sort of a
halfway house.
