Embedded has plenty of its own ugliness, though. It just doesn't change at such a rapid clip. In fact, once you ship a thing, it's unlikely to change at all. I appreciate this "do once and forget about it" approach, but at the same time the tooling for embedded can be ugly AF as well.

- h4b4n3r0 8y agoZ80 was like a brief breath of fresh air in late 80s: hands down the most intuitive assembly syntax I have ever experienced. I bet I could whip up something decent in it even now, in a couple of days. What would one use to compile assembly for it on Linux?
- jstewartmobile 8y agoI used Zilog Developer Studio and C for that particular project, and there was very little inline assembly required. I don't think I've had to write anything 100% in assembly in 20 years, so no idea what you'd use on Linux.
