You keep making these sorts of comments on various threads which tells me that perhaps you are not clear on the idea of an "Abstract machine" which underpins all high-level languages.

See my comment here for some references - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46930253

The gap between the "C Abstract Machine" and the actual Hardware underneath is smaller than most other high-level languages. This comment by user haberman puts it very nicely - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46910015

Yes, most languages allow C type code, if that’s what you are trying to do.

Java with only primitive values, arrays, and classes only with fields and static methods.

But that wouldn’t be idiomatic Java, so typically non-explicit abstractions such as polymorphism have code generated for them that you don’t have explicit control over.

C is consistently low level because that’s all you get. Down to direct access to addressing and RAM, the stack frame, etc. as with assembly.
