[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}.
