A friend of mine used to be a big proponent of this. His theory being that sure, you need someone special to be very productive in assembly. But there's a billion of Chinese where the market is just opening up…
(So I guess it was a few assembly geniuses for your OS and productivity software and the rest of us mortals filling in with the less performant rest written in C++ or E or Blitz Basic something)
- anta40 4y agoI discovered Randall Hyde's HLA (High Level Assembly) while in the university around 2005/2006: https://www.plantation-productions.com/Webster/HighLevelAsm/index.html https://www.plantation-productions.com/Webster/HighLevelAsm/... and thought it would be awesome to use that for work. Imagine the power of assembly combined with readability/productivity like Pascal. Well, I never use assembly professionally, and HLA itself isn't maintained anymore.
