The closest thing to machine code on this platform that we're allowed to code in is MI, and yes, I do code in MI (have since 1987). But that language is not for most programmers, as they would tend to get into trouble with it.
However, either you know what I'm talking about (as much efficiency as possible within high-level languages) and you're just being a jerk, or you're just a dumbass! You choose which. ;)

OK, so do you program in machine code? And if not, then why?
