[High-Level Language (as opposed to assembler)] Found

primarily in email and news rather than speech. Rarely, the

variants `VHLL' and `MLL' are found. VHLL stands for

`Very-High-Level Language' and is used to describe a bondage-and-discipline

language that the speaker happens to like; Prolog and

Backus's FP are often called VHLLs. `MLL' stands for

`Medium-Level Language' and is sometimes used half-jokingly to

describe C, alluding to its

`structured-assembler' image. See also languages of choice.
