If we were talking about a startup, I'd agree with you. But given the vast resources at Amazon's disposal, I think assembly could be a legitimate option. Risky?

If we were talking about a startup, I'd agree with you. But given the vast resources at Amazon's disposal, I think assembly could be a legitimate option. Risky? Yes. But why not give it a shot? Assembly programmers are a dying breed, anything to incentivize people to write it is a win in my book.
- adamnemecek 5y agoDude what sort of an argument is that? They should write it in assembly just to keep assembly programmers around? Don't they support a multitude of architectures? Are they supposed to port it for every given architecture? Are they supposed to do networking in assembly?
