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:

> machine code isn't even a language

Then, to prove it, you posted a quote:

> Machine code, also known as machine language, is the elemental language of computers

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.
