Of course even if you don't use a bytecoded language, your object code is interpreted by a program, the micromachine, in your CPU (unless you are running something VERY simple like a Z80 or small AVR, which implements the machine code in hardware).
One of the nice perspective insights from 3Lisp, which of course was very high level!
- IshKebab 4y agoAren't Intel/AMD x86 CPUs basically the only ones that use microcode? ARM doesn't (it has micro-ops but they are different) and no RISC-V CPU I've seen does.
- jecel 4y agoWhile most RISC-V implementations don't use microcode, it is an option if your priority is not performance. Here are just two examples: https://github.com/gsmecher/minimax https://github.com/gsmecher/minimax https://github.com/brouhaha/glacial https://github.com/brouhaha/glacial
