I realize you have a different horse in the language race, but this 
statement is completely strawman (as countless existing "high level" D 
projects demonstrate)

You might as well say that C is unusable at a high level vs. javascript 
because you need to decide what type of number you want, is it int, 
float, long? OMG SO MANY CHOICES.
