Unlike Python or Java, which compile to bytecode (easily reversed), PureBasic compiles directly to (x86, x64, or even PowerPC and ARM in legacy versions). It uses the highly optimized C backend (via LLVM or GCC, historically the PureBasic assembler backend) to turn your Print("Hello World") into raw CPU instructions.
