ASM > everything else

Name: Anonymous 2009-11-05 16:05

Am I the only one who hates coding in high level languages? I can write all kinds of games and programs in 68k assembler, but I just choke all over C. It just makes more sense to deal with actual memory spaces than to mess around with pointers and libraries and shit. I don't like having to use any code that I didn't write myself.

High level languages require an enormous amount of infrastructure to work effectively; think GCC/MSVC. Assembly, on the other hand, requires only an assembler, which can be made in a few kilobytes of source in a few days' time, and no greater toolchain is required. Depending on the situation, assembly is the easier way of doing things. Plus, it's just nice to know you're actually working with the hardware, telling it what to do and such; high level languages just feel too sterile to me.
