How is Java low level. Java is a high level language. What is &quot;low level&quot; about Java? Do you mean statically typed makes it low level? No it doesn&#x27;t. It makes it safer though. Low level means direct access to hardware and having to deal with network protocols manually and shit like that. None of which you almost ever do or would want to do with Java considering it runs on a cross platform runtime mostly isolated from the actual OS of the host machine.
