Machine code. Assembly if you’re weak willed and need some hand holding.

Of course _real programmers_ write forged microcode to define just the machine code instructions they need, and they flash the ucode update live in prod to deploy their app.

But if you're weak willed and need some hand holding, the official ISA's machine code is tolerated too.

Written with a magnet, and a steady hand. Keyboards are a crutch.

Shit the ROMs on the Apollo mission were hand-woven wire looms. 4K wires weaving between and around magnets. Why hold a magnet when you can use a marlin spike?

Because nobody has ever expanded their machine code beyond the L1 cache size and experienced a huge difference in performance.

Pathetic. If you can't fit your code into L1, are you even a real programmer? No one has time for your Electron shit. Get real, bruh, what's your deadlift?

Back in my day we didn't have L1, so our code just ran on 16 registers.

I personally use cosmic focused on a disk by the turbulences created by a butterfly to program, but it's not a competition

I was under the impression that not every language compiled to java byte code, and that programs can run independently of it (i.e. without having any JRE installed)
