Yes.

I think I will probably strangle the next person around here who tells me
that they can do what C++ does in C, (or some other language of similar
level). I could do what C++ does even in assembler; [Proof: C++ gets turned
into C which gets turned into assembly code]. Extrapolating that argument one
step further implies that we make do with binary machine code(!)
