      The opposite of system language, especially as many scripting languages have “beginner” features, like a single number type instead of integers and floats, dynamic types.

        I would call that a high level language. Like, the further you abstract from the hardware, the higher level the language.

        Calling it a “toy” language implies that it isn’t useful. You have languages in there that are incredibly useful, like SQL, that basically run the entire internet.
