I think that a background in low level programming is great for understanding some basics of performance tradeoffs.
Eg; iterating through a loop a few tens of iterations, is still far faster than doing any I/O.
One thing that hits app performance is the deep stack depths with all the OO calls, but modern compilers (& runtimes like JVMs) can mitigate that quite a lot with aggressive inlining.

I want to learn low level programming. I mean like, all the way down to the fundamentals. I was wondering what y'all would recommend for a beginner who wants to make something tangible like a game or a program?

#gamedev #lowlevelprogramming #programming

If you like #programming and especially #LowLevelProgramming you might enjoy Shenzhen IO. It sounds like the name of a webpage or something but in reality it is actually a game based around creating electronics projects using very simple, low level components and programming in a simplified #ASM.

The game's interface looks likke a custom OS. You have a little mail client to talk to your coworkers. There is even a little unique type of solitaire to play between projects or to unwind.

A neural network without built-in number arithmetic written in SectorLisp and running on bare hardware.

Holy shit. That's amazing!
