Assembly language is the lower bound here. This is a 100% correct fact that nothing can use less energy than assembly language. No such statement can be made about other languages.
- geophertz 8y agoNot necessarily. Sometimes compilers give better programs than a programmer can with optimization and stuff.
- crimsonalucard 8y agoRight but if I write a program that converts code into assembly and does the optimizations automatically then I can get something better or equal to a compiler.
- dragonwriter 8y agoIsn't that exactly a compiler?
- crimsonalucard 8y agoYes. And all of my statements are 100% correct except for this one.
- timbit42 8y agoCompiled Forth would give Assembly a run for its money and produce smaller code as well.
- crimsonalucard 8y agoBut could forth beat compiled Assembly language? I think not.
