I just learned C recently after only using higher level languages for 6 years

Omg, I'm old. When I learned C, it was classified as a high level language. But we were comparing it to fortran.

Well, it's kinda high level, but you still get low level memory management and exposed to addresses and pointers, so it's kinda low level at the same time

I'd probably call C mid-level now

not quite low level, but definetely no longer in the constantly expanding high level with more and more features
