You don't say why you want to do it. I would really recommend learning to program in assembler. And I think the best way to do that is something like AVR [1] or ARM on an embedded device but X86 is do-able with NASM [2] [3] There's always MIPS via SPIM [4] Learning assembler will give you more than simply swapping one imperative language for another. Python / Java -> C / Go / Rust is really not that large a leap. You will have the basics down in a few evenings.
