To be fair, students are mostly learning MIPS32. It's a 'language' great for teaching concepts while preserving the students' sanity. The fact that I have to run an emulator of an effectively dead-for-consumer use architecture to write labs hurts student satisfaction. You can't even be cheeky and use interesting, assembly dominated elements like SIMD.
The true masochists continue to x86 in the higher level courses.

- radialbrain 11y agoSome places are starting to use ARM Thumb which is both reasonably sane and actually usable!
