Lately I've been programming in raw (32-bit x86) machine code, evolving some minimal tooling for error checking rather than information hiding. A few different ways to write the same instruction ("mov ebx, 42"):

1. <binary>
2. `bb 2a 00 00 00`
3. `bb 42/imm32` (todo: check that `bb` accepts an imm32)
4. `mov_imm 42/imm32` (planned; like Forth, no overloading names) It'll eventually start getting more high level.
5. String literals.
6. Function calls.
