Yeah, there is really no need to be scared of assembly. It is easy to learn because there is not much to it. Only writing nontrivial programs in assembly is hard, and you don't need to do that to understand what's going on behind the scenes in compiled code.

> Only writing nontrivial programs in assembly is hard It's not even really hard, just crushingly tedious and error-prone. You could also write all your programs on 80-column punch cards or with (1)ed, but why bother if there isn't some technical reason why a text editor isn't available?
