I'm pretty sure many of us know Steven Gibson. Today I've tested a
freeware from him. In the instructions page he made these statements:
"All of my programs are so small and so fast because I write only in the
one, true, computer language: Assembly Language. All other languages
reduce to assembly language, but they lose a lot in the translation.
(Judge for yourself.)"
"People who can't program in assembly language (just about everyone) get
really annoyed with me when I talk about how much better it is than their
pet language. But it's not my fault if they just say they care about
quality."
My blood is boiling. I want only to share to cool me a little down.
