No, of course not. It's all Assembly. And take a wild guess as to what
machine code would be. Exactly right, it's essentially assembly, but
with numbers instead of mnemonics. poooh, so, what does the assembler
do? translate the mnemonics to numbers? exactly!

TI has tested their code extesively, and they know it won't crash.
however, if they support assembly, they thought they were going to get
loads of support calls regarding crashing calcs.

due to a loophole, asm is possible. Now ti has added very limited asm
capability.

I still wonder what you think it's written in.
