Wow - HTML, SQL and Javascript descibed as "low-level"! I can understand Assembly language being low-level, but SQL and Javascript are standards-based (normally interpreted) languages designed to shield programmers from implementation differences (though perhaps this doesn't work perfectly in practice), and HTML is not a programming language at all, but another standard designed to overcome OS interoperability problems from the start. If these are now low-level, what's high-level? Ruby? Does that run the same on every computer in the world without local implementation differences? If what you mean is "never write client-side code, when you can auto-generate it using server-side code (on a server of your choice)", then maybe you have a point. I don't like it, but perhaps it's the way the world is going. Time will tell.
