@typhlosion @nightpool Computers can't make heads nor tails of higher level languages. They need to be translated, and not merely to assembly (which already uses mnemonic vocabulary for the benefit of humans--thus not "raw", as such) but to raw machine language.

If you're writing in anything but base-something representations of opcodes that execute directly on the processor, you're writing for the benefit of humans. So far as a computer is concerned, C and Lisp are equally incomprehensible.
