Assembly is back

Assembly language re-entered the top 10 langage ranks.
Who knew that they counted you neets in the figure?
How comfy is ASM?

It's only comfy if you are programming for some embedded system. That way you can fuck with the inputs and outputs directly
CISC x86 programming is not comfy since you will have a constant urge to just use C

Daily reminded RollerCoaster Tycoon 1 and 2 were made fully in ASM by a single man.
Also yeah, the only use for it is on embeded systems or microcontrollers, it's pretty much godmode.

na depends on what you are doing. if it is just some atmega8 for bitbanging and interrupt handling it is pretty much straight forward.
unless you want some sort of hdi besides of leds. then it pretty much becomes hell

Lol this.

Probably because any system that was built using solely ASM is reaching end-of-life and it needs to be replaced.
The company I work for is in the process of phasing out COBOL, because the systems are EOL and it's too difficult to find people who know COBOL well enough to maintain these systems.
