The end result is not useful, but I learned a lot of new things about C and processes along the way. And I thought it was an inspiring exercise to go as far down to the metal as possible. It does make me feel guilty when programming Ruby that I sometimes create an entire array object to compare two integers because it looks prettier, without any regard for performance. It feels so wasteful.
