@Frinkeldoodle when necessary, yes. assembly is way easier than high level languages because one instruction is one instruction and the compiler doesn't do anything weird
but also we try to avoid using any sort of processor at all when we can. much easier that way.
@Felthry wait you actually *meant* assembly language? jeez, well, i shouldn't have deleted that message, and again mad props. i can understand just wanting to forego the processor though ^^
@Frinkeldoodle I think you'll find if you take the time to look into assembly languages (of _reasonable_ processors, mind, not the monstrosity that is x86) they're a lot less intimidating than you might think
we worked a lot with PIC24 assembly a while back, and the entire programming language reference was all of two pages
@Frinkeldoodle actually it might have been three, with the first one explaining some symbol conventions used in the other pages
@Frinkeldoodle (easier to us, that is. there are way fewer things that can go wrong when you work at a low level and don't have to worry about things like memory segmentation and operating systems getting in your way)
