You're still coding in assembler I assume?
- oscilloscope 14y agoWhy do that when you already have perfectly readable patterns of bits.
- TazeTSchnitzel 14y agoIt's important to use zerospace to make your bits more readable! For instance: 0010000 0000110 0000101 0000100 0011000

- bct 14y agoThe difference between assembly and (for example) C is vast. The difference between JS and CS is much smaller. Whether the difference in usability and maintainability is worth the extra layer of complexity is an important question.
- veidr 14y agoIt's an important question, but one that many people have decided has a clear answer (in their judgement, for their own coding circumstances). In many cases, though not all, that answer is yes. For me, it's similar to using a powered driver when assembling furniture. Yes, there's added complexity. (Need to keep the battery charged; need to adjust the force dial to control how hard the screws and bolts are tightened). But yes, dealing with that small bit of added complexity is worth it. (The furniture is assembled more quickly, more correctly, and with less irritation on my part.) I could of course tighten all those bolts manually. But I don't wanna.
