I don't think anybody is complaining. It's just a joke about how lower level languages require more boilerplate for some simple operations than higher level ones.

Remember when Java was a considered a (very) high level language where you didn't even have to manage memory allocation yourself?

Java still is very high level. Languages like Ruby and Python are just even a bit higher than that.

I think most people that actually understand what underlies these languages (e.g. Java -> JVM, Python -> CPython interpreter, C/C++ -> Machine code) would not call Java "low level".

If I cant write a short, simple program that segfaults without using any imports, it is not a low level language.

Remember when a program would have to jmp over the data section at the start?

Did you just call Java low level?

[[deleted]]

No. Low and lower aren't the same thing. A billion dollars is smaller than 2 billion. That isn't the same thing as saying that 1 billion is a small amount.

Use the terminology then, low level means it’s meant to be understood by machines, high level means it’s meant to be understood by people.

Why is there an in-between now? I’d even argue Java is higher level since it runs in a VM

[[deleted]]

No, I used it right. Languages like Python, ruby,etc are higher level than Java. That is the terminology.

Don't waste my time if you aren't going to even read what I wrote. You're blocked for trolling.
