Old jokes aside, there are people who have seriously argued that C is, in important regards, a low-level language (though once it got ported off of DEC hardware, that claim got seriously weakened); but as an Algol-family language, the aspects of it that are relevant to this poll are the ones that it shares with other high-level languages. So I wanted to head off wise-asses who might otherwise be inclined to list C as low-level when filling in their answers here.

Making someone smile or growl at my phrasing was merely a pleasant side effect. [attempted innocent look]

I consider C a low-level language. I came at programming from the top-down. Anything which makes me aware of the actual metal and sand is "low-level" in my book.
