    Re: Intro to Intel Assembly Language: Part 1

    Do you think that writing most desktop applications and even operating systems will be become a good idea?
    In assembly language? Dear God, no. You should use it for writing device drivers, self-modifying code, viruses, BIOS routines, code for embedded systems, and things that require high speed or have severe memory constraints. Writing a modern operating system in assembly language would be a daunting task, but it has been done.

    Uh-oh, sorry, I have eatten a word.

    Do you think that writing most desktop applications in managed code and even operating systems will be become a good idea? .NET and Mono assemblies are always compiled into native code eventually, with the highest (best) instruction set available.

    Therefore managed code is versatile, while also with the best performance. As long as memory constraints are not as limiting as in a handwatch.

    Re: Intro to Intel Assembly Language: Part 1

    Ok, now you're making more sense. I dunno, I haven't really programmed in managed languages like C# or C++.NET. I barely use C++ as it is...I'm a low-level kind of guy, as you can tell by the fact that I'm posting assembly language tutorials.

    When I was looking for a text editor, I found one that was coded entirely in assembly. Fast, and efficient.

    Oh yeah, I've seen a "screen editor" (i.e. console GUI designer) coded in assembly language. It was in a book somewhere, forget where.

    Not a language? I'm curious to know what you thought it was.

    you could maybe explain "To retain backwards compatibility with 16-bit predecessors, these 32-bit registers have the low 16 bits aliased to these registers:" a little bit better, I couldn't really understand what you meant, at all
