ASSEMBLY

I've decided I'd like to try and learn assembly in my spare time.

But I want to know how hard it would be compared to learning C.

And also if you know assembly, how long did it take you to learn and how often do you end up using it?

Not really sure how threads like these go down on /prog/ but I figured here is the best place to ask at least.

I store my variables in these for optimized inline assembler routines. Those "special" registers are just hidden from casual programmers. Its like a big secret in the industry.
