Sorry. I should have deleted Python, Ruby - and maybe PHP for close to the metal web programming - after having copied the line. Regarding C/C++/Java, I was expecting HNers to prefer more agile languages and/or exploiting some other language's features to gain a competitive advantage.

PHP isn't low-level; it just makes you do everything yourself.

I thought it was low-level because I've read its frameworks tend to be faster (CodeIgniter comes to mind).
