I learned to code machine language on the VIC-20’s 6502 when I was 13. I think my parents paid about $200 for the computer. It was thrilling to learn to make things even with basic, but to do much with graphics or games at the time required direct 6502 coding to get decent performance. Good memories though. So different coding only for joy with no stress or deadlines.
