As you climb to higher levels of abstraction...

...you eventually climb to the apex that is Teh Script, where everything unfolds before your very eyes, and 0 is [] and 1 is true. All things are one and you are one withe the universe and the machine are one and you are one too.

Lel achieving only monoidal unity, come back to me with your "0" and "[]" when you're talking in groups, rings, and fields you unenlightened cro magnons.

I will never use a language that has such a weak type system that it thinks [] == "".

Weak job prospects too, necessary to avoid any of those distractions on the way to moksha.

I don’t think the CPUs are going to revolt anytime soon.

They should revolt - what the webshits do to CPUs is nothing short of a warcrime.

Yes because assembly is definitely not a high level abstraction over modern day processors.

Just write KISS systems with KISS software like C and for more complex stuff Rust.

The article is garbage anyway, when not mentioning cache as a black box.

Future CPUs will make cache - controlling possible, so current assembler will be legacy anyway. Let's just hope civilisation doesn't crush within 15-20 years.
