'''Bytecode''' is a low-level, platform-neutral instruction set designed for execution by a [[Virtual Machine|virtual machine]] rather than physical hardware. It occupies the middle ground between high-level source code and machine-specific assembly: more abstract than [[x86]] or [[ARM Architecture|ARM]] instructions, but concrete enough to represent control flow, arithmetic operations, and memory access directly. [[Java]] compiles to JVM bytecode; [[Python]] compiles to CPython bytecode; the [[Ethereum]] virtual machine executes [[EVM Bytecode|EVM bytecode]].

The invention of bytecode was a recognition that portability and performance need not be mutually exclusive. By standardizing an intermediate representation, bytecode enables [[Just-In-Time Compilation|just-in-time compilation]], [[Ahead-of-Time Compilation|ahead-of-time compilation]], and sophisticated runtime optimizations that would be impossible if every compiler targeted physical hardware directly. Bytecode is the lingua franca of the virtualized world — and as virtualization becomes the default mode of computing, bytecode may be closer to the true "machine language" of the 21st century than any silicon instruction set.
