It's...sort of like basic.  Sort of.  It's more powerful in the sense that
it includes pointers and better memory manipulation and more hardware
control (usually), etc. etc.  It's a little harder to get into, IMHO, and
it's less tolerant because it's not usually interpreted (so errors are
ERRORS, generally you have to trap your own errors using your own code
kinda like ASM.)

However, in whatever flavor you choose, C is a hell of a lot nicer than
assembly. :-)
