For learning how the machine functions, Amiga is still very much relevant as a teaching tool, as I’ve come to experience recently. As someone who is part of the C++ experts group and maintains the GCC compilers at my organization, I will “keep my assembler” over C++ any day of the week. But in one thing I’m starting to think that you actually might be right: it is I who seem to be hanging around with the wrong crowd by being here on “Hacker News”, where actual hackers (in the MIT sense of the word) are in very short supply. The more I read what people write and how they think around here, the more n-gate.com is right, critique by critique, point for point. As it stands right now, this site is a gross misnomer.
