A comment on Cello – High Level C. Parent comment

Nothing of that is exclusive to C, please provide an example of a CPU where C is the only compiler toolchain available, and exposes CPU capabilities without using language extensions.

Any example with language extensions to ISO C, allows me to provide a counter example with language extensions.

Any example where only a subset of ISO C is allowed, allows me to provide a counter example with a language subset.

Are you replying to the correct comment? I never claimed anything that would be exclusive to C. What i wrote applies equally to something like, e.g., most Pascal dialects that are around the same "level" as C.

This leaves room for such interpretation "On such CPUs C is at the lower levels possible.".

Sorry if I misunderstood it.
