Ideas in this flowchart

High-level languages are preferred for readable syntax, but their built-in variable types remain limiting.
Their syntax is closer to plain English.
High-level syntax is still far from natural language.
It is nevertheless closer to natural language than lower-level languages.
Assembly and binary machine code are examples of lower-level languages.
Programmers are still forced to use the language’s primitive built-in variable types.
This restriction is quite limiting.

"One reason we prefer to write programs in high-level programming languages is that we can use syntax that is closer to plain English. Though programming language syntax is a far cry from “natural” language, it is far closer than lower level languages such as assembly or binary machine code. However, from what we’ve seen so far, when writing programs we are still forced to utilize the primitive variable types built-in to the language we’re using, which is still quite limiting."
