I love ASM a lot, wrote quite a lot of it before. But well, what's the point ? I understand it's a funny endeavour; I can even see that one could help the planet a bit by reducing power consumption on the server side (running on raspberry :) )... But I still fail to see some genuine advantage. Am I missing something ?
