Kopilman, well usually an intermiterary is used, like assembly or LLVM, which are langauges extremely close to machine code.
But eventually, with some more progress, PyPy will be able to run programs faster than cPython can today.

Kopilman, they just have to figure out the target, and whoever writes the virtual machine for the target, be it pyc, llvm, java bytecode, clr bytecode, or binary object code, deals with executing it

So programming languages are then like subsets of other languages? dont know if thats the right term, just someone learns one of those langauges and makes a program that lets one type in something more english like which gets translated to the other stuff which gets run as binary

Kopilman, all programming languages are essentially just converted to some other language to run
