👉 Compiled engineering is the process of translating high-level programming languages or domain-specific languages into machine code, which is directly executable by a computer's processor. This involves several stages: first, the compiler reads the source code and breaks it down into a series of tokens or symbols. It then performs semantic analysis to ensure the code makes sense syntactically and semantically, followed by optimization to improve performance and reduce size. Next, the code is translated into an intermediate representation (IR), often in assembly-like form, which abstracts away specific hardware details. Finally, the IR is compiled into machine code that directly corresponds to the target architecture's instruction set, enabling efficient execution by the CPU. This compiled code is optimized for speed and resource usage, making it highly performant but less portable across different hardware platforms.
