I would say it is only a low level language if it's a form of assembly or used in systems programming like Linux or OpenBSD or whatever else in the kernel land

I would say that any language that has if-else instruction, for loop, and the ability to define functions/procedures is "high level".
You can do all those things with a macro assembler.
Assembly has all of these features.
