I occasionally see someone older than me refer to C as a high-level language and get really confused for a second. (I'm employed as a JS developer (although most of my expertise is centered around C#).)

Back in the 80s, C was a high level language on your typical home computer. I recall in the 90s it was common to argue about the trade offs between writing an application in C vs. Assembly. Today, it's Java (Rust or Go) vs C.

I'm just scared at what's coming down the pike that makes Javascript a "low level language."
