While I think that learning assembly is very useful, I think that one must be careful at applying assembly language concepts in a HLL C/X++/Zig..
For example, an HLL pointer is different from an assembly pointer(1).
Sure the HLL pointer will be lowered to an assembly language pointer eventually but it still has a different semantic.
1: because you're relying on the compiler to use efficiently the registers, HLL pointers must be restricted otherwise programs would be awfully slow as soon as you'd use one pointer.
