You know how cool it would be to say "I programmed Hello World in binary"?
Where I come from, it would be *very* cool.

In some assembly languages, there is a one-to-one mapping between assembly instructions and machine code instructions. In other words, each binary instruction is given a simple, quasi-English name. The reason for that is so the programmer does not have to remember all the bits. Machine code is intended only to be read by machines. Everything else is for humans.

He could do it with today's hardware. There's nothing present in more modern hardware to prevent it.
