You say "bytecode does not need to be binary" but the whole name BYTE code implies to me a binary format. If it is not intended to be read and be delivered over the internet it would make sense to use a binary format. After all this code is being produced by a complier and not by hand. Bytecode systems are generally intended to be produced by tools and compilers and not written by hand.
I would not call anything based on text 'bytecode' which does program logic I would call it just 'scripting' or a 'script'. I am sorry if I am mistaken about Java bytecode not being close to machine code but I am just going on what I was told which may be incorrect. I have not got hardcore enough to read / write raw bytecode yet. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
