Well not really as such. MIPS is a CPU, yes it has microcode, but for argument’s sake, let’s assume the person in the article is not a CPU designer. I’m sure in the slightly sassy reply to internet trolls where he listed every achievement she could think of, being a CPU designer would’ve been mentioned.
So you can write program FOR a microprocessor. You can either do it in a very low level way, for example writing assembly or even byte code to a CPU directly, or in a very (well relatively) high level way, for example the Net Yaroze development kit for the PS1 (I hope the ps1 WAS a MIPS. The PS2 definitely was). Basically saying that you can “Program in MIPS” makes no sense as such, and to anyone who knows almost anything this hurts the credibility of the article simply.
MIPS is a CPU architecture.
But it needs programming right?
Yes, but I wouldn’t recommend it.
(I didn’t enjoy Assembly in college and I haven’t written it since)
This is one of the problems I find with computers. Same acronyms meaning different things
Million Instructions Per Second
Microprocessor Interlocked Pipeline Stages
Both relate to processors and it’s dumb
