   Now days the definition of “low-level” programming is using a language   
   like C. Note also that the Pi, being a full Linux system, has access to   
   all the range of languages available in any major Linux distro. Maybe you   
   want to try C++ or D instead of C? Ada? Smalltalk? Really want to get your   
   hands dirty an old-style assembly language, for some vintage architecture   
   like the PDP-11? Apple II? Altair 8800? IBM 1401? Software emulators for   
   all of these are available.   
      
   Modern assembly/machine language is the way it is because it’s designed   
   for compilers to generate efficient code, not for humans to understand.
