There is no such thing.


As of the current Computational Standards, there isn't a single Programming Language on Earth that is lower level than Assembly. And it's hard enough to code shit like a Calculator in Assembly anyway with user input and all. If you could get down to the Binary level, it'd take nine billion lines of code to get an addition.

Well, okay, that's not ENTIRELY true, it's actually possible to code in Native code AKA Machine Code, and yes, it can be done actually, but it's ridiculously stupid to do anyway because you have to take the long way around and go through a lot of hacks in your code to make the Machine code readable by humans, and because it's readable by humans, it's possible to code in it. Writing ASCII readable machine code is for very specific things only like writing Polymorphic Shellcode that can slip past an IDS for example, but that's just a small rant I'll stop right now.


Assembly is the lowest language you'll be able to code in, and it's fast and sexy, you should definately learn it. You'll look back on this and laugh because you're so 1337 with your Assembly knowledge.
