  HLL
  
     (HLL) A programming language which provides some level of
     abstraction above assembly language.  These normally use
     statements consisting of English-like keywords such as "FOR",
     "PRINT" or "GOTO", where each statement corresponds to several
     machine language instructions.  It is much easier to program
     in a high-level language than in assembly language though
     the efficiency of execution depends on how good the compiler
     or interpreter is at optimising the program.
  
     Rarely, the variants "VHLL" and "MLL" are found.

  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.
