    Unreferenced date August 2008 Second generation programming language is a generational way to categorise assembly language s.

Second generation programming languages have the following properties The code can be read and written by a programmer. To run on a computer it must be converted into a machine readable form, a process called assembly. The language is specific to a particular processor family and environment. Second generation languages are sometimes used in kernels and device drivers though C programming language C is generally employed for this in modern kernels , but more often find use in extremely intensive processing such as games, video editing, graphic manipulation rendering. One method for creating such code is by allowing a compiler to generate a machine optimised assembly language version of a particular function. This code is then hand tuned, gaining both the brute force insight of the machine optimizing algorithm and the intuitive abilities of the human optimiser.
