@freemo @gpowerf Also the distinction between "high level" languages and pseudocode is not an exact one. The reason I adopted python all these years ago is because it looked pretty much exactly the way I pseudocode. I went, "wow, this interprets the way I tend to describe things!"

Any sufficiently detailed and rigorous pseudocode is for all practical purposes already a high-level language. In other words, describe a task carefully enough and you basically have written a program.
