Higher level languages usually mean less simplicity and more control. Having
less lines in a higher level language doesn't mean much if the language adds
unnecessary overhead "behind the scenes". Ideally, the most bloat and the least
control is achieved by directly programming machine code. That's what
performance-critical code is written in. It isn't considered as "practical" for
least things, though.
