That Javascript is the greatest programming lanuage

1. It seems that my opponent introduces a new argument in the final round. He now suddenly contends that Machine Code is not a programming language. Aside from the unfairness of this conduct, the assertion is incorrect. a) From wiki: Machine code or machine language is a system of instructions and data executed directly by a computer's central processing unit. Machine code may be regarded as a primitive (and cumbersome) programming language or as the lowest-level representation of a compiled and/or assembled computer program.http://en.wikipedia.org... b) Definition: Machine code is the name for the Instructions that a CPU can execute. http://cplus.about.com... c) Machine code, also called machine language, is a computer language that is directly understandable by a computer's CPU (central processing unit), and it is the language into which all programs must be converted before they can be run. Each CPU type has its own machine language, although they are basically fairly similar. http://www.linfo.org... OF course machine code is a programming language. It is developed by humans and executed by machines. The fact that hardly any end-user programmer ever uses machine code (because it is extremely difficult to use) does not change this. (As for the Boeing 747 analogy, it appears that my opponent is now committing the Strawman Fallacy. He is misrepresenting my argument and attacking the misreprestented version of it. I never suggested in the analogy that we must be looking at a specific type of jet engine. Jet engine is a greater aviation device than a specific jet plane.) Finally, even if machine code is specific to each processor, machine code remains machine code. There are a number of versions of BASIC and PASCAL and many other languages; incompatible with each other and made for specific machines. This does not change the fact that BASIC is BASIC and PASCAL is PASCAL and each is a computer language. As is machine code. Machine code is the most widely adopted computer language because it is used by every single CPU in the world. No exceptions. 1 for Machine Code, 0 for Javascript. 2. My opponent now claims that Javascript wins this point because it is easier to learn. He is AGAIN introducing a brand new argument. If you look at Round 1, you will see that Contention 2 was not about ease of learning but about the amount of available support. My opponent is trying to shift goalposts while the ball is already in motion and with 2 minutes till the final whistle. Has my opponent demonstrated that Javascript is better supported than Machine Code? No. Have I demonstrated that Machine Code is better supported than Javascript? No. Nil Nil. The count remains 1 for Machine Code, 0 for Javascript. 3. This point was conceded by me from the start. The count is now 1-1 4. The number of individual instructions available in machine code is indeed limited. But it is COMBINATIONS of those instructions that constitute a program. A program written in a higher language (such as Javascript) provides the programmer with more instructions. They are ready-made to make the programmer's life easier. But after writing the program, it is translated (or compiled) into machine code. It is the machine code that executes the program. No other language can do this. Only machine code. Every single action that the computer executes is done by the machine code. There is nothing that machine code can't do. It can do everything that any language does. It can do things that C++ does and Javascript doesn't. That's because every single thing the computer does is done by the machine code. Machine code is without question the most powerful computer langauge in the world. It controls every single action of the CPU. No exceptions. Score: Machine Code 2 - Javascript 1 5. This point was conceded by my opponent. Score: Machine Code 3 - Javascript 1 I thank my opponent for this debate and urge the voters to vote for Machine Code. Machine code is the most widely used (every machine has it) programming language. It is the most powerful computer language (controlling every single action of the computer, even if the program was originally written in Javascript or C++ and then compiled), and it is the fastest computer language (conceded by my opponent). Machine code wins 3-1, even on my opponent's own 5 criteria. Thank you
