I know about this article. Thank you.

I said C is "close to" how a computer works. C is an abstraction, and most (all?) cpu architectures pretends to be c machines. There was a talk (Kelly?) where even assembly is nowhere close to what a cpu actually does.

I don't know of any other way of manipulating the cpu as closely as C and assembly. Do you?
