I first learned to program as a kid using BASIC on 8-bit machines. I was curious about Assembly languages at the time, but it seemed daunting and I never learned. Recently, I took up 6502 Assembly programming on my retro computers and found it to be quite fun and scratching an itch I hadn’t scratched much in my youth (did a little x86 Asm in college). But more importantly, it inspired me to utilize modern Assembly on modern micro-controllers too!

Having programmed in many, many, high-level languages, I now find Assembly to be loads of fun. It is just so joyfully unforgiving.
