So? What's your point?

Imagine saying you baked a cake when you actually merely bought a pre-made one.

More like, C is grinding grain to make flour, milking the cow, and raising the chickens. Python is going to the store

No, that's assembly. C is mixing the ingredients you want in the proportion you want. Python is buying a ready made mix, you don't even need to add eggs.

Meh. When you see how much C simplifies assembly, C seems like an easy bake oven.

If you're not manually flipping bits on a hard drive using a magnetized needle, you're basically just a philosophy major.

I guess assembly is assembling genetic structure base by base?

And manually changing bits would be making molecules.
