Rust is high-level language. You mean "a language which allows low level access to hardware". Right?

- the__alchemist 6y ago"high level" and "low level" have somewhat fluid meanings, and in the case of Rust, aren't ideal for describing the language on the whole. Eg: You can do "low level" things like read a MCU register using a raw pointer. You can take advantage of "high level" abstractions like Result types.
- drran 6y agoHigh level language is platform independent. Low level stuff can be done from almost any language. I used peek and poke in Basic to access hardware registers 30 years ago.
