There’s something so reassuringly logical and solid about assembly. It comforted me to visualize my data sitting safely in its little register. But you DID need to be a compulsive commentor.

I found that understanding computers at the assembler level makes it a lot easier to understand the quirks of high level languages. It seems the most difficult concept to teach in programming is the nature of variables and how to use them. The relationships between variables and instruction streams is quickly learned in assembler.

But you DID need to be a compulsive commentor.

Of course. Rust never sleeps, and all parenthesis/braces must be balanced. Woe to the non-compliant.
