Programs are written in programming languages that humans can understand. However, the processor cannot understand these languages. These languages need to be translated into machine language to make them useful. The process of translating these programming languages into machine language is called Compiling.

Hercules/MVS Turnkey - MVS on a PC
I started my career as an operations analyst. Worked my way up to be a systems programmer for MVS. During my career as a systems programmer, I wrote several assembler programs on MVS. Those were interesting days and nights.
I was actually surprised to know that I can install MVS on my PC. The same version of MVS I supported - MVS 3.8! I know, it's not state of the art. It's just 24 bit addressing! But I think it is a good tool if one wishes to learn about operating systems in general and MVS in particular. Or if one just wants to relive old glory days in writing assembler code.
