How about Common Lisp? Higher level than all of the above, and also at least an order of magnitude faster.

I know that I could write a Common Lisp chess engine no more than 100 Elo points weaker than Stockfish. This is a conservative estimate; 100 Elo points are what we would expect from a slowdown by a factor of 3, and getting within 33% of C speed with Common Lisp isn't all that hard. I've often been tempted to write a Common Lisp chess program, but there is always so much else competing about my time ...
