So, if Python and Ruby are "intelligent", and C and Java are "low-level", what are Perl and shell scripts? Because git's original user interface was, in fact, built out of shell scripts and Perl. Whatever. It's remarkable how the intelligence of the programmer never seems to enter into this guy's calculation of how "intelligent" an application is. [EDIT: Actually, having now dug through git's source repository and looked through git on my machine, it appears that the whole command-line UI is still written in Perl and shell. Thank god! For a minute there I thought that git wasn't "intelligent"! ;]
