The lower-level the language, the harder it is to write programs in. It takes a long time to write a program in machine language...and it is way more trouble than writing it in an abstracted language.

There are very few applications of any note that aren't written in C++ (or some combination of C++ and C). Even the Java virtual machine required to interpret Java programs is written in C++.
These days very few programs are written in assembly language. Some parts of operating system kernels are written in assembly language usually because they need to perform some function very specific to a particular microprocessor architecture. Other programs written in assembly language include programs written for very cheap microprocessors in embedded systems. Such systems have very little resources and do not run operating system and compilers. Finally some specific parts of applications programs may be written in assembly language for performance optimization, but examples of those today are quite rare indeed.
There are very few programs which still use the software language Fortran as it considered 'dead' by many. That said, it is still used by those in numerical algorithms programming.
1. direct access to the elements 2. the elements are sorted
it depends mostly it is written in lower case but few start with an uppercase as Java is case sensitive
