Isn't a big part of its allure that it is "close to the metal"? When learning assembly language programming in the '80s, I would write a bit of C, and compile to assembly. It was very easy to mentally map from the one to the other.
- steveklabnik 10y agoThis is harder today due to optimizations, but if you also understand those, you can do it.
- intrasight 10y agoThat I get. I doubt this would work today. Even a simple program would generate reams of "boilerplate" and a reasonably complex program would probably leverage branch look-ahead and other optimizations.
