You will find that
many of the truths we cling to depend upon our own point of view.
For a C programmer, Assembler is a low-level language.
For a Java programmer, C is a low-level language and so on.
I suspect the folks programming the first stored-program computer with 1s and 0s would have thought Assembler a high-level language. It's all relative.
