- "it can be claimed that Z-code is one of the most portable computer languages ever invented" - I have trouble with this claim since Z-code isn't a language.
How about "...most widely portable platform"? Frotz 08:55, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
Z-Code is a computer language by many definitions. It has operands, it has data to match the operands, a stack, memory addressing, variables. A fairly primitive language with a very specific intent, but a language nonetheless. The confusion many people encounter on this point was that it was a language without any matching hardware, which was quite unusual for the time. Frobme 17:07, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
- I'd say that Z-code is the machine/assembly language of the Z-machine. Frotz 21:28, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
