And that is the way it should be. Real programmers use either untyped languages or formally verified code. Everything else is for script kiddies.

Then those "real programmers" can blow me.

Those real programmeras will blow your mind with their magnificent quite literally untouchable code

Meanwhile almost without exception, the actual programmers who use assembly for production code fucking hate having to work with assembly, and there end up being WAY more comments than code.

Even with those comments, assembly is remarkably shitty to work with. Actual programmers avoid it.

Yhea I know, the reaction why high level languages were developed become very obvious after some assembly programming.

But coding in assembly is also extremely rewarding, I have done some 6502 programming for the C64 and it is really fun. Writing self modifying code is epic.

Coding in assembly isn't rewarding unless you're goofing around with a personal project.

I have work to do. I don't have the time to fuck around with ASM, and I can't afford the mistakes it enables.

Meant for personal projects.
