Come on people, it's not hard- if you want to program computers, reasonably structured assembler is all you need to know, and it certainly takes less to learn than it took to learn half a gazillion C libraries.
- weland 13y agoThat's a carricaturized view of it, from which I gather you haven't done much embedded programming. A subset of the (famously thin) standard library is quite sufficient.
- TheZenPsycho 13y agowell good for you then. I guess you don't need this product and you can move on.
- jdmichal 13y agoOf course it's characterized. That's the whole point of a reductio ad absurdum argument. You're basically making the same argument as the old guy yelling at kids to get off his lawn. Out of curiosity, what do you think about Lego Mindstorms? Especially the later versions which allow a large multitude of programming languages to be used?
- TheZenPsycho 13y agoTo be fair, I think some kind of assembler (such as z80 or 6502) probably would be much easier to learn than any subset of C.
