A Very High Level Programming Language is a programming language with a very high level of abstraction, used primarily as a professional programmer productivity tool.

Very High Level Programming Languages are usually limited to a very specific application. Due to this limitation in scope, they might use syntax that is never used in other programming languages, such as direct English syntax. For this reason, Very High Level Programming Languages are often referred to as Goal-Oriented Programming Languages.

Very High Level Programming Language are usually Proprietary software, although some Free software programming languages such as Python are often considered to be such.
