There literally are countless high-level programming languages. Most of them are unpopular though. Bash and Python are high-level programming languages. They are not compiled though, i.e., Bash/Python programs are not turned into executables (written in the assembly language that the processor understands). They are interpreted: when you execute them, a separate program (the "interpreter") reads the Bash/Python programs you execute and transforms the next Python/Bash statement to execute into assembly instructions.

@purists: I know there are Python compilers too.
