Almost every language that compiles to native code as its default 
implementation, has some way of doing pointer manipulation, that 
is not what makes C a "high level assembler".

What used to give C such status as the almost one-to-one 
correspondence between what developers write and the 
corresponding Assembly instructions.

As many already answered before me, this one-to-one 
correspondence does not exist any longer.
