Not at all! I am sorry if you feel bad because of my software!

It's not entirely clear to me what you mean by "low level programming".  I suppose it's worth knowing, though, that in my book, "low level programming" is what you do when your "high level" tools have failed you, and you need to extend them. From that standpoint, then, "low level programming" is hardly ever a goal in and of itself.

In general, though, you might be interested in the "ffi" library, which makes it possible to interact with libraries that use C calling conventions. 

All the best,

John Clements
