assembly
Assembly languages are fascinating. We can define them as languages thatare close enough to the metal for a processor to execute - distinctly,they are the low-level languages that users don't interact withdirectly, but that can be composed to form the minimal underpinnings ofa system.
They must be resource-aware in some way.
