I disagree: the higher level the language, the better one can focus on the algorithm itself rather than getting bogged down in irrelevant details or language-specific details. For example, being able to swap by doing "a, b = b, a" in python allows one to focus on the rest of the algorithm rather than getting bogged down in: "temp = a; a = b; b = temp". Generally speaking, the more lines of code the harder it is to see what the code is doing.
