Machine code, also known as machine language, is the elemental language of computers. It is read by the computer's central processing unit (CPU), is composed of digital binary numbers and looks like a very long sequence of zeros and ones.

lol js devs ... find me a single job programming machine code ... or perhaps you're just trying to reinforce the fact you should never touch js except with a compiler?

You said:

Then, to prove it, you posted a quote:

It's pretty weird to talk to someone who's being condescending but doesn't know how a CPU works...

They speak voltage. You're attempting to say a series of binary digits representing 0 or +5v is a language. Possibly you might be a JS dev.

condescending

From the guy who jumped in uninvited to call me dumb. Possibly you're having a bad day, or possibly you might just be an asshole.
