It's basically the equivalent of Python, Perl, Ruby, etc. It completely fits into that same niche as an interpreted dynamic language with OO capabilities. It's nowhere near as elegant as Ruby or Python, but similar concepts can be expressed with +-35% lines of code. So no, it's not actually low level at all. You don't have to do memory management. You don't have to declare variables. Arrays are not fixed sizes. It is compiled to intermediate bytecode... etc.
