I thought that never hear someone say =C2=A0that there sense =C2=A0cu= rrently
uses of binary code.

One person told me that there are three or more years ago the
University of Latvia and Riga Technical University taught code in
binary.

I like both =C2=A0this subject that is irresistible to me, who are better than the developers of Plan 9, the successor to Unix from AT & T to
address this issue?

I doubt if there is better people than the developers of Plan9 to answer th= at.
