Opinion of Gentoo developers on the use of machine code

Members of forum, especially the Gentoo developers, I could not resist the urge to now post the following message:

This message is mainly for developers of Gentoo Linux.

What are the programming languages that were used to develop the Gentoo Linux ?

Probably the Riga Technical University and University of Latvia
continue teaching coding in binary code, in other words, machine language.

I say this because about three years ago the Riga Technical University
and University of Latvia continued teaching coding in binary code, in other words ,
machine language.

The Riga Technical University and University of Latvia made based
projects in Gentoo Linux using coding in binary code?

The developers of Gentoo Linux think there was no point in coding in binary
code three years ago as they did or make the Riga Technical University
and University of Latvia?

Not sure if spam... or real comment.

Gentoo Portage is pretty much all Python, an interpreted language.

Pretty much the craze these days is TTM, or time to market. Writing in assembly code and its corresponding binary output just doesn't make sense because it takes much longer to write and debug.

Tentatively moved from Off the Wall to Gentoo Chat as it's Gentoo related (if it's not spam, that it).

clark_hobby,

Writing portable low level code is very difficult and Gentoo runs on more arches than any other distro, so portability is important.

Compilers do a pretty good job of effency now too, so the speed gains of hand crafted code are no longer what they once were.
