Yet, he did say this in a followup post:

And if you want a fancier language, C++ is absolutely the worst one to
choose. If you want real high-level, pick one that has true high-level
features like garbage collection or a good system integration, rather 
than something that lacks both the sparseness and straightforwardness of 
C, *and* doesn't even have the high-level bindings to important concepts.
