Programming Languages

[ephmynus]

Don't know if anyone has asked before but it's something I'm very interested to know. What are programming languages programmed in?

[SubZero]

I think the C complier is written in C.

[ephmynus]

Wow seems kind of hypocritical to me. Obviously you can't write like Pascal in Pascal. That's like giving birth to yourself. Anyhow else have any information on this?

All languages come down to machine code in the end. But can have many layers, like C++ is written in C, and C is written in Assembler, which is written in Machine code. Get my drift?

[ephmynus]

Can I be an @$$ for a minute and ask how you program machine code?

Think back to the days of programming with punch cards. <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

In the end it's all 1's and 0's, on's and off's. It all started there and worked it's way up.

machine code or ASM is just another language. Much harder for the everyday person to understand as the logic goes past 3 * 3. Machine code does not multipy, it only adds 1 or subtracts 1.

It used syntax like
"POP EAX,var" this would POP the data off the eax register and put it into var(variable).

some other keywords are push, DB,JZ,NOP I think you get the drift...Its complicated but its not 01101001,1011010,10001011 like the first programs ever made. I'll stop confusing people now. =)

BTW I think most languages now a days are made in C,C++, and inline ASM.

Well MS Access was made in Visual Basic and has Visual Basic inside it... <IMG SRC="smilies/eek.gif" border="0">

Was it?
Well, It being programmed in VB, and having VB, doesn't seem stupid or weird at all..

Seems pretty weird to me, since most M$ apps are in C++, and such a mission-critical app is written in VB...wonder if Windows ME was written in VB ahahahahah

[MasterEvilAce]

ME is written in Caveman..

What is Caveman written in?

I thought you knew, you seem to speak it!

I am very proficient in it <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

I'm afraid I'll have to agree with you on that one. <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/wink.gif" border="0">

[thecoolbean]

you can write a language with any language

How did anyone learn how to make machine code then? They knew all the right holes to punch so the hardware would do certain things out of nowhere?

There was no such thing as MS Visual Machine Code Studio <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">
