Oh and to not forget, high low assembler, compiled, interpreted, whatever you use, if you use BIOS/firmware code you are consuming outside "library".
For example if one goes to program an interactive application using Fortran, or using machine code entry, the Fortran way can still be faster, if the machine code programmer does not implement his own optimal display and input routines and uses what is provided by the BIOS, while Fortran libraries do.
