C isn't the lowest though, it's "one of the lowest", C++ isn't as low compared to it :S
I also said C because it's still VERY widely used, as a reply to "most people would probably work with today"
I know. Again, the subject matter was specifically C++, and so I was focused on C++. I'm aware that C and any C-variants are not at all the lowest-level possible. I also didn't intend to say that C++ is more widely used than anything else; the non-exclusive connotation intended was supposed to make that clearer. I can understand why my wording was vague, however. Also, "most people would probably work with today" is meant to modify "one of the lowest-level languages," not C++ or "languages" exclusively.
This is all semantics though, and hopefully my actual intended thought is understood now.
