In the early days of CNC, G-Code programs were written by hand. As a result, the G-Code language was extended with all kinds of commands which are to make writing the G Code simple, putting the complexity in the CNC-controller for executing that code.
Today, G-Code is often 'generated' in a CAD/CAM application. Those CAM post-processors take care of the complexity and then generate G-Code that's rather simple itself, ie. using more of the simple G-Code words rather than more compact (but more complex) G-Code
Mooov focuses on G-Code from the CAD/CAM scenario.
