Byte-code is a sort of intermediate code that is more abstract than machine code. It is often treated as a binary file containing an executable program much like an object module, which is a binary file containing a machine code produced by compilers.

Byte-code is called so because usually each opcode is one byte in length but the length of instruction code varies. Each instruction has one byte operation code from 0 to 255 (or as hexadecimal: 00 to FF) followed by parameters such as registers or memory address. This is a typical case, but the specification of bytecode largely varies in language.

As in intermediate code, it is a form of output code used by programming language implementers to reduce dependence on specific hardware and ease interpretation.

Started messing with Scala today. I like the way it combines oo and functional programming. It also can be compiled to java bytecode.

@jonskeet Wouldn't you be better off writing a java bytecode to .NET framework bridge? Probably more chance of getting it right...

@inspirit Strange, it should'nt since this add an overhead of 2 bytecode one to find the uint namespace and another one to convert to uint
