If you've
been exposed to machine langauge before an HLL, I
suspect that you gain a deeper understanding of how langauges
work.
Omgosh why before? Why not after? How many, but the truly
deranged/depraved, learned machine language (machine language!) as
their first language??? I mean no offense to those who learned ml on
a keypad. Oh who am I kidding. I could care less if I pissed them
off!. But I learned assembler on a k/b! The real man's way!
Are you willing to declare that every compiler writer getting a check
today learned ml first Chuckers? Something tells me the vast majority
probably cut their teeth on BASIC, Pascal, and FORTRAN. But what do I
know.
