intermediate_representation

a form of program representation usually optimized for being turned into a different form of program representation (i.e. assembly, machine_code or another IR).

examples:

• Java bytecode: the instruction set of the JVM
• LLVM IR: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LLVM#Intermediate_representation
• Microsoft's CIL
• Parrot IR for dynamically typed languages like Perl or Python

a form of program representation usually optimized for being machine readable (contrary to source_code, which should be human readable).
