I've heard that learning assembly language is a good way to become a better computer programmer. Is this true? Is it worth the effort? Does anybody have any suggestions on this subject?
Holy fuck, like 99% of people in here are fucking retarded.
ASM is NOT hard. It IS worth learning. If you think it's hard, you're stupid. Case closed. If you have half a brain you can easily do anything in ASM that you can do in any HLL.
Another point: learning more than one HLL is stupid. C and C++ are really as far as you can go. Java is immensely fucking stupid, and everything else is not really even worth mentioning. Not to mention most all HLLs are so similar syntax-wise anyway they're practicly the same to code in anyway. Also, people who like languages because they're different, or have virtualization or what the fuck ever, are stupid. It's like, way to go, make your programs pointlessly slower. Fail.
