Unironically? C, C++,D, any lisp, erlang, ML family stuff are all good if your goal is to learn about computers and write software that well-utilizes actual hardware. If you don't particularly love computers and just want to get a job

Yeah I thought that was weird too. All you need for a DC source is a few diodes and a capacitor, after all

Very cool! At first I thought it was going to be something like the Waterman butterfly, but it quickly went way beyond that.

Ah I thought the idea was to make the whole program use nothing but mov instructions. Still cool though. That's an interesting point too about console games, it seems to make a lot of sense if the whole machine can be dedicated to runn
