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.
