I think the parent comment is just insinuating that it's weird that they said assembly gets executed directly by the machine. Instead of saying that the assembly gets assembled into binary machine code that gets executed directly by the machine. And afaik that's what ultimately happens, but maybe I don't know how a computer works either. If that's the case please correct me haha.

Well, the "binary machine code" in many cases today gets translated into microcode before it is "executed", so there's that.

I think that is fine, but maybe I have no clue either. :D
"When you first start programming, understanding the difference between a compiled and an interpreted language can be quite hard. After you've been doing it for a while, the difference will seem really obvious, and impossible to miss. When you've been doing it even longer, you'll find that you are no longer sure of what the difference really, and will likely struggle to explain it to a beginner."
