Java is a low-level or mid-level language

Because Anonymous said so.

I sense a new meme. (which I invented)

Lisp is a satori-level language

I was the first one to point out that Java is not a high-level language, leaving everybody but people who have achieved Satori surprised.

java is high-level language

So I'm playing Secret of Mana with my friend Senate over ZSNES. We just got to The Empire (more than halfway through the game), and he's still wearing his fucking power wrist. It has 4 defense, as opposed to the ~20 defense from the armor available to us right now (this makes a lot of difference in the world of mana), but he keeps it anyways because it has +5 STR which he is convinced is more important than any amount of defense (it's not).

So while we were in the shop at The Empire, he gave up control of his character for a moment to go AFK, so I popped into his inventory and unequipped his power wrist so I could sell it and buy a Golem Ring instead. He noticed soon after he returned that his power wrist was missing, and became irate.

So now we're on our way to "potatos" (he means Potos Village) to buy back his power wrist. What he doesn't know is that he can buy it at the shop we just left in The Empire.

WHY ISN'T IT FUCKING HIGH LEVEL? WHAT IS THE DEFINITION OF HIGH LEVEL THEN HUH? WHAT IS HIGH LEVEL </cruise control>

High level languages abstract machine-specific details from the programmer.  The more abstractions implemented, the higher-level the language.  Examples of abstractions:

- Variables and types (sure beats manually specifying memory addresses and tying them together when needed)
- Dynamic memory management and other system calls (sure beats int 0x80 or DOS function calls!)
- Mathematical operations (abstracted to more natural notation instead of a serialized list of primitive operations)
- Control flow statements (don't have to remember address of each statement when needed to jump there, constructs such as if, switch)
- Function calls (because manually constructing function calls in RISC architectures SUCKS ASS)
- Comments (you need them!)

WHY ISN'T IT FUCKIGN TOURING?! WHAT IS THE CORRECT SPELLING OF TOURING?! WHAT IS TOURING COMPLETE?! </suave yoshi>

Turing is ghey

Turing is grey
Turing's dead.

BEHOLD TEH GREY TURING ZOMBIE, who is.

The abstractions you mentioned are featured in any decent low-level language that is not assembly, such as C or Java. They still don't make Java a high-level language.

Can't we all just get along?

Java is a high-level language.

Java is a hot-level coffee

LISP

The compiler themselves or as an alternative   view on everything   looks like parentheses.

For completing this challenge, you are awarded the rank of Greater Thread Necromancer.

>>20
>>19's necromancy is nothing compared to >>16's.

>>21
It's like this:
>>20 attains the rank Minor Thread Necromancer, whereas >>19-san gets the coveted Great Thread Necromancer rank along with +1d4 ranks in Hax.
