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.
I had to read this about three times before I realized that by "ml"
you meant "machine language", not the language "ML".
C: Well read it again anyway. Chuck makes the assumption that all
language "work". You don't need no stinking ml to tell you that. You
might need ml to tell you things about the ones that don't work!
Psyyyche...
Am I a pain? I've been on this list for 6 or 7 years, and I yet to
hear from anyone regarding whether it's painful to read my posts. Or
am I just forgetful...too?
