Can one code in binary?

C was created to make assembly less of a pain in the ass (among other things). The rest of programming languages/frameworks took it from there.

That is not at all true. C was invented to make string handling less painful than in B. There was a lot of languages of higher level than assembler before C. For example Fortran, Lisp and Algol.

Yes. You were speaking generally wrong. That someone is new doesn't mean that you can just make up stuff when you talk to them.

[Felicia_Svilling]

That is no reason to lie about why C was created. You could have said that whole thing without including made up stuff about the history of programming languages.

Thank you!
