{{Short description|Highly abstract programming language}}

A '''very high-level programming language''' ('''VHLL''') is a [[programming language]] with a very high level of [[Abstraction (computer science)|abstraction]], used primarily as a professional programmer productivity tool.{{Citation needed | date=April 2016|reason=Seems strange, as all programming languages are highly goal-oriented.}} An example would be [[Jq (programming language)|jq]].

VHLLs are usually [[___domain-specific language]]s, limited to a very specific application, purpose, or type of task, and they are often [[scripting language]]s (especially extension languages), controlling a specific environment. For this reason, very high-level programming languages are often referred to as goal-oriented programming languages.{{Citation needed | date=April 2016|reason=Seems strange, as all programming languages are highly goal-oriented.}}
