Binary is not a language.

You can code different things with binary code but there's not one universal one. And even if there was that would be an incredibly useless thing to know.

But if we include programming languages I'd really like to be very good at C++. Or on the geekier side of real languages: lojban.

I would get really good Assembler.

It is too a language: machine language. 😐

Binary language is simply representing data as 0s and 1s. The grammar of the binaries "words" or "bytes" is what is used to specify what type of protocol/language is being used. All written languages can be translated into binary.

Cobol. 😐

No, it isn't. That's like saying the alphabeth is a language.

So we are on the same page.

I'd stick with C++ ... or maybe Java.

I'd learn Italian. I'm currently learning French and that's been quite a blast.

Machine language is a language. 😐 Why would you even argue against that?

And, no, it's like saying that the english language is a language: machine language has certain syntax and structure, just like any other language: it's just not in a form that humans could use without difficulty.

Nah. I'm startign to like cobol more and more.

Well he said he wanted to learn binary. That's a coding system, not a language. "Machine language", is also not specific enough, it's more like saying I want to learn indo-european languages, again it depends on the specific coding system. Does he want to learn the machine language for i386 processors? Maybe one of the AMD ones?

Just think about it, I'm sure you'll get it.

Oh, I get it. Now you're backpedaling to be right. 313

It'd be closer to saying he wanted to learn Hindi. The syntax is similar, and even the grammar is similar, but the dialects are so diversified that one person may not be able to understand another.

You can't fault WS for just not knowing the proper terms.

And, worst case scenario, he just wants to learn how to translate anything into binary: ascii hex representaion is a nice starter. then he could translate any language that uses the alphabet. 😄

I guess all has been said on the subject, you can read back at what I said if you are still confused as to how it is 🙂

You´d be able to code some shit hot games if you could, save all that compiling business.

Itallian, cos I wanna go to Venice.

Why would I need to read back on the subject when you're confused?

Klingon so i'd be ready for the future!

Zing.

Look, obviously one of us was confused as to what the other was saying, I think we both agree that we do mostly know how computers work and that the argument was solely of a semantic nature.

I think I'd learn a foreign language so I could disappear from peoples' lives that are important to me, just for a few years, just so I could return and act like nothing happened. It would be hilarious.
