An assembler elitist with a semi-fallacious argument. Let&#x27;s rewrite that in view of a lower-level elitist to show it still looks true, shows love for assembler as foolish pride, and still fails to matter in face of good, high-level tools.<p>If the 0day in your familiar pastures dwindles, despair not! Rather, bestir yourself to where programmers are led astray from the sacred <i>RTL&#x2F;Transistor language</i>, neither understanding what their <i>assembly languages and microprograms</i> compile to, nor asking to see how their data is stored or transmitted in the true bits of the CPU&#x27;s network-on-a-chip and memory plus analog values and circuitry many run through at interfaces. For those who follow their computation through the layers shall gain 0day and pwn, and those who say “we trust in our <i>assemblers, our C compilers</i>, our APIs, in our proofs, and in our memory models and <i>ISA models</i> and need not burden ourselves with confusing engineering detail that has no scientific value anyhow” shall surely provide an abundance of 0day and pwnage sufficient for all of us.<p>Source: LISP, Forth, and Oberon communities who did hardware to microcode to language &amp; OS all integrated &amp; consistent. :P
