> I mean, actually we kind of liked it. It was Object-Oriented Assembly. It's amazing what you can talk yourself into liking, which is the real irony of all this. And to us, C++ was the ultimate in Roman decadence. I mean, it was equivalent to going and vomiting so you could eat more. They had IF! We had jump CX zero! Right? They had "Objects". Well we did too, but I mean they had syntax for it, right? I mean it was all just such weeniness. And we knew that we could outperform any compiler out there because at the time, we could! Assembly has if. It has JL, JLE, JG, JGE. Sure you had to calculate the compound statement yourself, and do a CMP BX, 0 And this is way more registers than the Z80 load store machine had. Coming from that it was awesome.
