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
Register Tiny piece of memory in the processor that can

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
