With complex instruction sets like SSE, AVX and so on it's not really
easy to imagine what code the compiler might generate from the code
you write. The only part where I agree that C is similar to assembly
that it easy to layout data structures in a way that their physical
layout is 100% controllable (platform-depenendent).
Some time ago I had the idea that if C would be invented today not
much people would use it.
