The Simple Machine Language interpreter is a straightforward interpreter for machine language.
On this website, you will have access to an interpreter as well as various example SML programs. You can even download GPL'd source code for the interpreter or binaries for Windows and Linux.
While machine language can be advantageous due to its direct relation to processor data and code optimization, it also has its downfalls such as lack of portability and difficulty in maintenance. That's where higher level languages like C, C++, Java and scripting languages such as shell or perl come in; they are easier to maintain and provide varying levels of portability, scalability and execution speed.
Assembly language, on the other hand, is one level higher than machine language and is also readable machine language. If you need a direct level of control, assembly is the way to go. It can even be "inlined" into higher level languages like C so that assembly code can be called as callable procedures from within the C code.
Overall, SML is the perfect toy language to start your journey into understanding processor concepts. With the ability to download the interpreter and example SML programs, this website is an excellent resource to expand your knowledge of machinery language.
