Yes, I did read the section. And I'm not blind to the fact that languages will age, and there are certainly many, many languages more advanced and higher-level than C is now. I think that's good. It's a bit weird to me to see people who really never programmed in C, and for whom the concept of a pointer is a bit foreign, but time marches on.

I suppose my quibble is semantic at its heart. To say C is not high-level language may be an opinion, both valid and not without reason. But it may also show a lack of perspective -- some missing history. It's a lower-level language compared to many, without question. But it's still a high-level language, and I have not only my reasons for saying so, but evidence to the point.
