The Python interpreter compiles code to bytecode before executing it on the Python's virtual machine (see also What is python bytecode?. Here's how to view the bytecode of a Python function import dis def fib(n): if n <= 2: return 1 return fib(n-1) + fib(n-2) # Display the disas...

CPython allows access to the code object for a function object. The __code__object contains the raw bytecode (co_code) of the function as well as other information such as constants and variable names. def fib(n): if n <= 2: return 1 return fib(n-1) + fib(n-2) dir(fib.__code__) de...

Some Rust types implement the Copy trait. Types that are Copy can be moved without owning the value in question. This is because the contents of the value can simply be copied byte-for-byte in memory to produce a new, identical value. Most primitives in Rust (bool, usize, f64, etc.) are Copy. let x...
