we only use binary because the superior alternatives were too difficult to engineer 100 years ago

okay, app sisters, what's your assembler gender?

Ternary computers were notoriously unreliable iirc, since values were determined by voltage(off low, high) in a specific and tight range. Manufacturing had to be flawless which at the time in the USSR was not really feasible, so you'd get corruption frequently. Binary works so well because of its simplicity and doesn't require god-tier manufacturing to implement on silicon. Ternary could probably be done today, but adoption over binary would be slow if at all.

Modern CPUs don't even execute the instructions they retrieve, they are just emulating processors from the 1980s

Non-binary webasm

Abstraction+support for legacy instructions is not emulation. It's true that modern x86 is still built upon 80s tech, but that ignores the incremental and major changes and upgrades over the years.

Go and compare the instruction pathway for performing an integer add on the 8086 vs skylake

they are the same?

no it doesn't what you on about

Only true insofar as you use static, inexpressive languages like C and it's clones (sepples, Rust, all the LLVM memelangs).
In languages like Lisp or Forth, the language itself matters at runtime.
