Higher level languages usually mean more complexity and less control. Having less lines in a higher level language doesn't mean much if the language adds unnecessary overhead "behind the scenes". Ideally, the least bloat and the most control is achieved by directly programming machine code. That's what performance-critical code is written in. It isn't considered as "practical" for most things, though.
