Design choices that are appropriate for low-level programming may be less appropriate for high-level programming and vice versa. In low level programming, you may want to see "on the page" anything that could translate to some machine work, because in low-level programming, such details may be essential to the algorithm. In high-level programming, the same details are likely not essential to the algorithm, and so you don't want to see them.
