When people say this, do they mean that it's compiled to assembly? So what's native about it is the instruction set, yes?
- spooneybarger 8y agoI meant as compared to being interpreted in some fashion.
- abiox 8y ago"native code" insofar as i've ever seen it, means something "natively understood" by the cpu. the typical alternative is "byte code" which must be interpreted (or jit'd, etc).
