Description

**What programming language should we add?**
Java bytecode. Learning bytecode is not just an academic exercise. The JVM is ever more ubiquitous and will probably outlast the Java language itself. Several common libraries interact directly with bytecode and it is exposed to Java programs via the instrumentation API.

**What is the official website for the language?**
java.com I guess

**Is this a language that comes in many variants? If so, which variant should we support?**
Bytecode has been relatively stable over the years with just a few additions. Java 11, the current LTS version, uses class file version 55.

**Does the language have an official logo?**
There is the Java coffee cup but not one specifically for bytecode as far as I'm aware

**Does the language have an unofficial logo?**
Still no I believe

**Is there a testing framework available for the language?**
Any test framework for java will work. JUnit would be the classic choice

**Is this language listed as 'supported' by [Prism.js]([http://prismjs.com/#languages-list)?**
no

**If it is not supported by Prism.js, what is the closest supported language it maps to?**
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

**Who will be leading the effort to launch the track?**
I can contribute but other contributors are needed.
