  • The reason I'm interested in learning assembly is because I want to be able to make programs that run on my computer the way I can with the C programming language, even if I probably won't use it practically. Having only registers and global variables sounds like a very different way of thinking. There are also things you can't do in C that you can in assembly, which I'd like to know more about. And getting to know more about hardware that I own in general is interesting in itself. The tipping point for me was after reading the Jonesforth interpreter/compiler literate source file.
