asm is for people who are slaves to what will in short order be antique architecture.

You're an idiot. ASM doesn't have a specific architecture. It's literally just the machine code. It's what every OS developer, microcode developer, systems engineer, and hardware designer needs to know. They all learn ASM.

If you want to get involved with the soon to be blooming industry of hardware development in the US, you need to know ASM. You need to know what registers are, how they work and how to properly manipulate and handle them.

Aren't different ASM languages somewhat mutually exclusive, though? If I learn the ASM for Game Boy, will that knowledge totally transfer to another architecture? Everything I know says otherwise, but I'm not an expert and it's been a long time since I wrote ASM.

Do you think learning LLVM IR would convey some of the same benefits as learning a particular ASM?
