Isn't assembly programming already a form of perfectionism in itself. Compilers do the job well enough 99.9% of the times. If you are in the 0.1% where writing assembly is justified, you are probably also expected to put many, many times more effort on details most programmers don't care or even don't know about.
- norir 3y agoYes, I think it's even less than 0.1%. Assembly should mostly be written as a target for a compiler backend or to inline a hotspot only when it is proven that the compiler can't do it for you. Very few are in either of these two situations outside of artificial environments like a class.
- sylware 3y agoJust to be independent from those grotesquely and absurdely massive and complex compilers(gcc|clang/llvm), justify the additional amount of work for myself. Not to mention that from the perspective of the life cycle of tons of system software components out there, the actual coding is not that much.
