Abstract
The intermediate language we have used in Chap. 6 is quite low-level and similar to the type of machine code you can find on modern RISC processors, with a few exceptions.
The machine does not isolate man from the great problems of nature but plunges him more deeply into them.
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (1900–1944)
