I think it is a little unfair to say C the language is not low-level because a C application must implement features (or use libraries) that higher-level languages would already provide.

However, your older post [1] contrasting the code generated by gcc -O0 and -O1 was illuminating and made me rethink my position. Thanks! <:)
