Is the following statement correct?
"Python is a higher level programming language than Ada."
The purpose of my question is not to start a holy war, but to get better
understanding of what "higher level programming language" phrase may mean.
I have good knowledge of both Python and Ada.
My question is not about particular features, but about which features are
considered in definition of "higher level".
One feature I may think of, is that Python may be more easily integrated
with databases by using dynamic fields or attributes. Does this feature
contribute to what deserves to be called "higher level"?
Also Python 3 has metaclasses but Ada doesn't. Is it essential for
definition of a very high level programming language?
