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.

Haha, no. Assembly is the closest that software can get to the processor. What's within the processor is outside of the realm of software; you can't exactly reprogram the microcode of your machine--well I guess you could, there have been microcode patches, but even then the microcode ROMs are hardly enough space to implement anything useful, and doing so would disallow any other software to run besides your customized ISA. This is completely negating the fact that some architectures don't even have microcode. Basically, software-wise, assembly is the lowest practical level, other than drawing up some schematics for your own processor design (which is fun too, but not within the scope of programming).
