People who worked on C compilers and used C in the 70s and 80s called it portable assembly. That's why C was made.

It's not the only language that can be used for drivers, kernels, runtime libraries, and garbage collectors, but there's a very good reason why people use C or C++ for these things and not Lisp, Haskell, or JavaScript.
