Uncharitable...probably.<p>Though there is some truth to that. It&#x27;s far more likely that copy-and-paste X is a workable solution in a higher-level language than a lower-level one.<p>A high-level language emphasizes portability and abstraction; a low-level languages emphasizes performance and implementation details.<p>So...the comment sounds harsh but in reality is a reflection of the success of high-languages.
