The High-Level Language

Captions available

The idea

A high-level programming language is designed to be easy for humans to read, write, and understand — abstracting away hardware and machine-code complexity so programmers solve problems, not architectures.

In practice

An invoicing app in English-like syntax rather than bits is the abstraction cashed in.

Where people slip

Ease for humans is the goal, not a side effect.
