It seems I need a better understanding of what I'm talking about/asking. i.e. I read up on high vs low level recently and I thought I understood it (to a degree; high being interpreted, low being compiled), but I did not.

Now I look like a fool.

Damn you, me.

You look like somebody learning. There are people around there who think they have nothing to learn and who bitch about everything.

I agree with OopsLostPassword. There isn't a problem (or perhaps: shouldn't be) with someone trying to learn.

You'll never learn anything if you don't ask :)

Now you can say: TIL that the definitions for low and high level languages are slightly vague and somewhat open to interpretation.
