How the fuck does that work? Where did C come from, fucking nowhere?
C, ANSI C? That's clearly microevolution. Have you ever seen C evolve into D? Of course not, because macroevolution is a figment of the computer evolutionists imagination.
Clearly there was a divine creator, as there is no way complexity such as C could have arisen by pure chance.

I've written a Z80 assembler in binary before, and a Pascal-like language compiler in assembler (that same one.) That was in what most people would probably consider the most absurd introductory computer science class ever.
>>17 The first self-hosting compiler (excluding assemblers) was written for Lisp by Hart and Levin at MIT in 1962. They wrote a Lisp compiler in Lisp, testing it inside an existing Lisp interpreter.

Probably not. From what I hear of BCPL I'd rather write it in assembler.

Part of the final project for an introduction to computer architecture course I took was manually converting from assembly to binary and from binary to assembly for a custom-designed for the class cpu(which even had an circuit-level emulator you could run on and watch execute).

Man that sounds cool in retrospect, but I'm betting actually doing it felt like sucking 12 cocks, confirm/deny?

30 minutes writing a trivial perl program not completely wasted. CS EDUCATION.

There were any time consuming bits at all? Assembly<->binary conversion is just looking up tables of mnemonics, with a bit of variable substitution.

IIRC there people who memorized the x86 mnemonics and write hex code directly to file.

The Satori begins when you start executing them in your mind.
