I'm sorry to say but in my experience, I don't see Python, Ruby, C#
being higher level than C++.  The thing that distinguishes Aldor
from C++ is dependent types.  Apart from that, I don't see much difference
that would make me qualify Aldor as higher level than C++.

Notice that I'm specifically talking of C++, not an imaginary C/C++.
