To say that Java is "higher level" than C++ is absolutely meaningless.

C++ is on a par with Java as far as "level" is concerned.

Sorry to contradict you but no there are not, C++ has direct pointer manipulation, no garbage collector, no introspection and no annotation.

Sorry also for the ML, because this turn to be a technical discussion.
I am afraid I don't agree. Please read this thread (in French) on the subject : http://www.developpez.net/forums/d979620/c-cpp/cpp/langage/t-sens-dire-java-langage-plus-niveau-cpp/
However I agree this is too much of a technical issue to be discussed on the list.
Cheers.
