Sure, it's less common that people are writing full-fledged applications in nothing but assembly.
However, I would strongly disagree that people are no longer writing/using assembly. I was writing a bit of assembly the other day, for example.
Come on over to the game emulation, reverse engineering, exploitation writing, CTF, malware analysis, etc. hobby spaces. Knowledge of assembly is absolutely mandatory to do essentially anything useful.
- so-cal-schemer 7mo agoGreat examples, those. Here's another: https://github.com/jart/sectorlisp/blob/main/sectorlisp.S https://github.com/jart/sectorlisp/blob/main/sectorlisp.S Given this, you might write less asm.
- lmz 7mo agoMy point is that the coding LLMs are another point on the reliability / ease of use spectrum. We already mostly moved to another point with HLL compilers from machine language. This is another leap where the transform is unreliable but it's very easy to use (and it could preserve output edits, to some indeterminate extent).
