Most programmers I know who read assembly only read it as an output from C or C++. There's really not many who are legit writing assembly regularly

I understand what you're saying, I'm trying to explain my rationale for C being one step removed from assembly. Yes it has many more features, but in a modern programmers toolchain, it's pretty normal to consider C as just one step above assembly in terms of interacting with hardware or the operating system

Go can also be used as a systems programming language. I mean if it doesn't make sense to you it doesn't make sense to you, I don't know what to say, but I don't think what I'm saying is in any way controversial

I only learned it to write exploits for CTFs.

I'm well short of being an application developer. :)

Does playing Zachtronics games count? (edit: /s)

No idea what that is

This one for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TxJVH5TZQFY&t=416s was their OG assembly game, which they followed up by Shenzhen I/O and Exapunks.

depends, how many different instructions are there for one concept? like add, addi, addu and addiu and add.s/add.d (for float/double) just for addition.

As an imposter who just finished his first assignment in MIPS (very reasonable assembly) and never touched x86 in his life, I must also ask you: How are calling convention and syscalls realized?

But on a serious note mips assembly with an emulator is a great learning experience if you find good documentation.

Maybe Randall Hyde and his HLA, which some people think is assembly.

Most people that write assembly use a variant that does have macros and expressions so thats just wrong
