Well, hmm. Several issues are raised by the current version of this page:

  • Software can be written in a mixture of programming languages,
  • Program execution doesn't necessarily require compilation (interpreted languages, etc.),
  • An assembler doesn't turn object code into machine code, it turns assembly code into object code. The latter step (object code to machine code) is typically handled by a linker,
  • Machine language can be turned back into source code. This is called disassembly.
