You're just making stuff up now. In no way are PHP and LISP mid level languages. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-level_programming_language -- Only machine code and ASM are low level languages, everything else is high level.

LISP is about as high level as you can get, with garbage collection, macros, and more abstractions than most other languages combined.
PHP, likewise, is interpreted, and even it's array datatype is quite a bit above the machine level memory array, supporting dynamic resizing and the like.

It's not about what you consider "low-level" and "high-level." There are definitions for these terms...

Probe Shows Jupiter Moon 'Puking' Into Space 152

Tablizer writes "The New Horizons probe caught the moon Io in the act of 'barfing' into space. A five-frame sequence from the New Horizons probe captured a beautiful plume of ash from Io's Tvashtar volcano. "Snapped by the probe's Long Range Reconnaissance Imager (LORRI) as the spacecraft flew past Jupiter earlier this year, this first-ever "movie" of an Io plume clearly shows motion in the cloud of volcanic debris, which extends 330 kilometers (200 miles) above the moon's surface ... The appearance and motion of the plume is remarkably similar to an ornamental fountain on Earth, replicated on a gigantic scale.""
