Using C++ as your other comparison point when arguing that C isn't low level is by far the most smartass idea in this thread.

The only complaint I see about C++ not being capable is the correct observation that more platforms have C compilers than C++.
Either way, C++ spans a big range that goes just as low level as C. Even if these complaints are real they don't make it a reasonable comparison point for the "C is actually high level" argument.
