There’s a reason why no one explains abstract algorithms in assembly. It’s a trash idea, that obscures more than it illuminates. It’s a flex. A flex that is marginally above explaining an algorithm through a wiring diagram of thermionic valves.
- xorcist 6y agoNo one, except Donald Knuth himself, widely regarded as one of the best explainers of algorithms we have?
- jonathankoren 6y agoI don’t think agreeing that no one else on the planet writes examples in assembly is the dunk you think it is. Have you ever heard of anyone reaching out of those books, or even read all of them? He maybe heralded because of when we wrote them, but there are much better written books in 2021.
