Most of the stuff went over my head, Why should I care that C is no longer low-level? What exactly is considered close-to-metal in today’s time, apart from binary and assembly?

    By this logic assembly isn’t low level either.

    C is low level because it allows you to manipulate pointers. Most higher level languages don’t let you do that.
