ok 4chin what came first the compiler or the language

>>59585541
Assembly is interpreted.

>>59585557
and in regards to languages above assembely? is a spec drafted first and then compiled? surely a compiler is changed alongside the spec during testing

>>59585541
Language, how else would you know what your compiler is supposed to compile?

>>59585541
The language. First compilers were supposed to be humans, not programmers.

>>59585557
Bullshit. You're not allowed to post in this thread any more.

The assembler

>>59587938
Real shit here, couldn't assembly be interpreted? It's a one to one (or close to) representation of machine code. I understand that it can be compiled, but so can PHP; why can't assembly be interpreted?

The grammar of the language...

Holy shit is that THE Jordan? Used to drive a shitty pickup?

>>59588360
The real Jordan is me yes

>>59588694
God damn. We used to hang out in #/g/tv back in its heyday (2009?). I went by person, although I don't expect you to remember me. Glad to see you're still around.

>ok 4chin what came first the compiler or the language
that ambiguous
do assemblers count as compilers?
does machine code count as a language?

>>59589191
I will always remember you, person. You had a chat with me once that stopped me from running away and becoming homeless.

You made a legitimate positive difference in my life.

Kill yourself

>>59588054
of course it can- anything can. it's just stupid to translate a final form to itself

Why would I kill myself? Here's my reasoning on why I wouldn't: If I live, there's always a chance of having good feels. If I die there is zero chance of having good feels. Easy choice to not kill self

>>59588054
>couldn't assembly be interpreted?
Theoretically, but why?

>I understand that it can be compiled
No, you need to understand that it's assembled.

>why can't assembly be interpreted?
Interpreted by what into what?

>>59589643
Wow. It really is you.

Jordan, I always liked you and looked up to you. You were so damn smart and cool in my eyes. This sounds cheesy, but you were the cool big brother I never had. You were a role model to me. Always know that you made a positive impact on my life as well.
