I know this will most likely come as a surprise to most Javascript programmers but all code is represented using only two "characters" deep inside your little computers!

What do you mean two characters? What are they exactly? I'm guessing $ and ; because it's like jQuery but some operations seem impossible, like how does it even assign variables?
Its quite simple. The "$" and ";" are used in groups of three to signify other characters.

    "$$$" = "["
    "$$;" = "]"
    "$;$" = "("
    "$;;" = ")"
    ";$$" = "+"
    ";$;" = "!"
I think he meant 1 and 0
yes
Most JavaScript developers have tiny computers.
