> To really learn about the innerworkings of the CPU, you must read a book about...the innerworkings of a CPU. That's simply not true. There are all sorts of learning resources that aren't books. I have personally learnt a ton about the inner workings of CPUs by following the /r/rust subreddit for example. Most program languages are accessible to people without a university degree or the desire to read a doorstop book on the subject. C and C++ are a notable exception to this. I don't know how you can argue that a language is easy to learn whilst simultaneously holding that it requires a university degree.
