After I found myself stuck on x86, I finally gave up and learned C. I couldn't stand assembly language on x86 after 680x0. That slope was slippery.

- wslh 3y agoI have the same experience: I first learned 6502 (Apple II), then 68000 (Amiga), and finally (x86). The 68000 was very straightforward in the number of registers and memory addressing. Mainly when you compare with an 8088.
- Keyframe 3y agoYeah, not even exposure to Z80 prepared one for x86 lol.
- japanuspus 3y agoHey - Z80 was nice! I wrote Z80 assembly by converting from op-codes to hex by hand based on a couple of copied pages from the datasheet.
- mst 3y agoI learned assembly for ARM2, loved it, moved from Archimedes to PC and pretty much immediately went "oh my word what the flying fornication NO" and have basically never written assembly since.
