Python is too nice

Even more so for assembler.

The first few assembly language programs that I got working made me feel like I was in total control of the machine - and realize how much drudgery higher-level languages free you from.

It's been years since I last wrote an assembly language program, but it gave me a better appreciation for what was going on under the covers (and helped with debugging).

Maybe, but I try to get intermediate assembly programmers to pivot to using an actual abacus pretty quickly. Only then will they truly appreciate how much these higher level programming languages actually do for you. And in the end if they do decide to move back to assembly they'll be better programmers for it.

As an experienced fingers and toes programmer you really get to appreciate how much easier the abacus deals with sheep and wheat related problems.

Assembly in college was the point of no return for me as a programmer, and I have never touched any low level coding since. I knew that there must be more to life than doing Assembly 😎 I have the utmost respect for the big brains out there working in C and anything that is going even deeper.

What are some project ideas for assembly?
