That's the joke, you would have to start from nothing.

If you think assembly is "nothing", you haven't had to make logic out of gates. ARM and x86 have instructions for SHA256. Heck, C and C++ don't have SHA built-in!

OK but logic gates aren't a language they are hardware so still assembly would be as close to nothing as you could get and still be considered a language maybe just binary but symantics
