Low-level language
Term · Computing and IT · MLC-T-CMP-000699
A programming language that provides little or no abstraction from a computer's instruction set architecture, requiring the programmer to manage memory and hardware resources directly. These languages are closer to machine code and offer fine-grained control over system operations. Assembly language is a prominent example, often used for device drivers or embedded systems.
