Lol, this is such an hilarious troll. COBOL and Java are the business language, and MBAs are more likely going to understand C. No chance in hell of them understanding McCarthy's original Lisp, let alone a modern Lisp.

The higher the level, the less skill is needed.
Big failure. You either think high level = Visual Basic, or are a troll. You need
different skills, which are sometimes harder to gain (but yield better and faster results once got, hence you prefer high-level languages).
Also limits what can be done with the language of course, but not like enterprise fags really care.
You're definitely ignorant. You think high-level = Spectrum BASIC. A high level language such as Python has access to the same things an OMG OPTIMIZED C program would, including POSIX (or Win32) and any library you can use from C, and it can even improve it as you can use these functions as first-class functions, introspect them, etc. They can also handle octet buffers and bit masks before you ask, and they support memory mapping, low-level sockets (even though there are much better ways to use them), ioctl, and absolutely everything you would do from C, except __asm { OMG EAX, [ECX*2+OPTIMIZED] } which is not C nor standard anyways.
