A robotics engineer is writing the control loop for a high-precision drone's stabilization system. They choose to program this critical component in assembly language (a low-level language) instead of a high-level language.
Apart from direct hardware control, describe one characteristic of low-level languages that makes them highly suited for this type of real-time control system.
