I never said anything about whether javascript is higher or lower than Java. Whether a language is statically typed, dynamically typed or somewhere in between is not relevant to how high level it may be. C++, Java, Javascript and many other languages are badly designed, for all sorts of reasons. However, this is also not relevant to how higher a level the language is. And comparing COBOL to C++ or Java is nor ridiculous if you have programmed in any serious way with COBOL. The verbosity level of these languages is enough to put them all in the same bucket.
