Abstract

The advantages offered by compilers over machine or assembly coding are well known to all of us. The personal satisfaction and minimal execution time of optimally perfect code rarely outweigh compiler language implementations which are implemented and debugged quicker and cheaper. The returns from readability and machine independence further unbalance the scales.
