I found this really fun, I tried half the languages there. But why do the lower level languages like C/C++ have actual logic in them (e.g. if/else/||/&& ) while the higher level languages just have module/class definitions?

It's not exactly an apple-to-oranges comparison. Like I just got 100+ wpm in Ruby but what's the point of feeling good about that when it's just typing out a list of symbols over and over again?
