Oh. There was a comment to your comment saying that kids learning assembly was easy and — I guess? — implying that adults-learning-assembly is hard. I teach adults assembly on an irregular basis. Adults-learning-assembly is hard because adults are rational animals who (correctly) assume I'm an idiot for insisting on assembly. Once I explain the long-term benefits for our exceedingly specific use case, they pick up assembly in a few hours. Assembly isn't hard. Assembly is annoying because it takes absolutely gobsmacking amounts of assembly to do anything.

> Assembly isn't that hard, those of us that grown around 8 bit home computers were writing Z80 and 6502 Assembly aged 10 - 12 years old, while having fun cracking games and setting the roots of Demoscene.

Finally. I found my people.

Z80 on the TI-80 series of calculators for me. The Internet was very young, but there was ticalc.org. Damn, it's still around. I wonder if can log in?

To the deleted sibling comment about children vs. adults: some children are also optimists.

Isn't Valgrind written in C?
