HLL: /H-L-L/ n. [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.
