What are the disadvantages of low level language?

Answer 1

There are several disadvantages in low level programming languages

1. It is very difficult to learn the language.
2. It is very difficult to program in low level language.
3. It is difficult to understand the pre-existing program if it is written in low level language.
4. It is difficult to modify the program.
5. It is difficult to debug the programs.
6. It is difficult to fix the errors in the program.
7. It is difficult to find and fix the semantic errors.

Answer 2

When you use a high level language you are essentially using methods and components of lower level languages without ever knowing it. The advantage is that you can write code in C or Java without knowing how the registry files write and read. This is called levels of abstractions, because you don't need to know how the underlying hardware or software works for you to be able to use the language. The disadvantage of it is that if you are going for performance and/or are on a tight space requirement lower level languages like assembly are better for that. They will use less clock cycles to get the same job done.
