what is a compiler

what is it? i know you type pretty c++ or w/e code and it converts it into computer language so computer knows waht we mean, how do they differ for different languages asides that they convert two different languages? (its kinda hard to explain what im asking) like if all it does is change what we do to computer language for any programming language, why can't we have 1 universal programming language

Just stating the obvious. I don't think your "great hackers" intended people to believe something like >>7.

Refute what I said. Point out how great your code is if there's nothing to use it. Show me you don't need computers. Show me your code really doesn't need a machine to give its existence a purpose.

Hey, dipshit, if a language is readable, but can't make a computer do things, it has no reason to exist. People would go back to writing with 1's and 0's.
