This is starting to get off-topic, but... IMHO C++ is not any more or less
"high-level" than Perl, Python, etc. The main difference is that it is a
compiled language rather than a scripted/interpreted language, and as such
introduces extra learning dependencies, such as using compilers & linkers,
writing makefiles, and explicit memory management. However, the features of
the language itself (syntactically) are not any less "high-level".
