Using good (asm) to do evil (xml). Not cool :(
- pjscott 16y agoYou think that programming a significant bit of code in assembly is a Good Thing? If you can possibly avoid it? As for XML, it's excessively heavyweight and kind of awkward, but don't underestimate what a big improvement it was over the incompatible, non-human-readable binary formats that it was meant to replace. No, this isn't using good to go evil. This is an elaborate, properly functioning, potentially useful joke. I'm awed by the combination of technical acumen and perversity, but I'm not going to actually use it.
