A low-level programming language, often referred to as machine language or assembly language, is a programming language that is closely tied to a computer's hardware architecture. Low-level languages provide minimal abstraction from the computer's machine code, making them challenging to program but highly efficient and powerful.
Programmers working with low-level languages have direct control over hardware resources, enabling them to write code that is finely tuned for specific tasks. Low-level languages are commonly used in system programming, embedded systems, and developing device drivers. Assembly languages, for example, are used to program microcontrollers and manage hardware components at a very detailed level.
