It's been amusing reading a discussion of which languages are or are
not high level, without anyone offering a definition of what the
term means.  Wikipedia says, roughly, that a high-level language is
one that doesn't provide machine-level access (and IMO that is a
reasonable characterization).  Of course no distinction along these
lines is black and white - almost all languages have a loophole or
two - but I expect there is general agreement about which languages
clearly fail that test.  In particular, any language that offers
easy access to raw memory addresses (and both C and C++ certainly
do), is not a high-level language in the Wikipedia sense.

C++ is a lanugage which addresses the lowest level as well as medium
abstactions. I like to combine both.
