Avery high-level programming language (VHLL) is aprogramming language with a very high level ofabstraction, used primarily as a professional programmer productivity tool.^{[citation needed]} An example would bejq.

VHLLs are usuallydomain-specific languages, limited to a very specific application, purpose, or type of task, and they are oftenscripting languages (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]}

The term VHLL was used in the 1990s for what are today more often calledhigh-level programming languages (not "very") used for scripting, such asPerl,Python,PHP,Ruby, andVisual Basic.^[1][2]
