→Bytecode vs. machine code: UCSD Pascal p-code |

Line 89:
:: From a computer scientists point of view, there is no difference between a virtual or a real machine and their instruction sets are clearly equally powerful (given that both are Turing complete). My point is not what is being done, but the technical difference between the two terms, being that there is none. Being designed to be run on-top of another, unknown, machine is hardly a good criterion for distinction.

::'''Keep Separate''' — But this article needs to be refined and its category has to be determined. Is it related to virtual machines, interpreters, or process virtual machines? The page on VMs has to explain the type of code --[[User:Melab-1|Melab±1]] [[User_talk:Melab-1|☎]] 22:45, 19 June 2010 (UTC)
:::'''Keep Separate''' The term '''Bytecode''' has been in use ever since its [[canonical]] example (or maybe even earlier) of a byte-code in the form of the [[p-code machine|p-code]] used by [[UCSD Pascal]], which was one of the [[IBM_PC#OS_support|contenders]] for an operating system for the upcoming [[IBM PC]]. So at the very least the term has historical significance. [[User:Mahjongg|Mahjongg]] ([[User talk:Mahjongg|talk]]) 17:52, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
