This is one way we can measure abstraction

So why is C “low level”

Those earlier languages express similar ideas.
Ruby has an object model
C has a memory model
C Amount of computers
C Assembly Amount of computers
Memory is slow
The accumulator from baby encodes this concept

This process repeats
That’s how programs execute (kinda) (I’m still lying to you)
Fetch: get instruction from memory into processor
Decode: prep processor for instruction
Execute: do computation
Retire: results and cleanup
