Talk:High-level programming language

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] needs cleaned up

How to mark it? But it says C "was", "might be", and then "is" a high-level language. Also, PHP isn't high-level? Really? It's interpreted, reflexive, and (somewhat) Obj-oriented. If this page is really going to say it "isn't" high-level, it needs to explain *why* (not just "it's a web language"). HTML is a markup language -- neither high nor low, because it's not a programming language. It's a document, not a program. PHP, while often used for scripts, can be used to write programs performing functions just like those of a command-line C program (but with less code). So how is PHP *not* high-level?

Well, I just removed that section, because there was little of merit in it. — mæstro ^t/c, 11:48, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] High-level programming is slightly gay?

Not sure I am interpreting this correctly. Could someone clarify?

well to be honest it is not really possible for high-level programming to be "gay." is it?

[edit] Machine code?

anyone know how this works with machine code? Becuase I can't figure out how each instruction in high-level language corresponds to one instruction in machine code. Any one help me out?
