    - now imagine building entire systems tailored to each OS in just assembly

    - imagine the next gen browser built in only assembly with a browser engine made in assembly

    - imagine photoshop, illustrator, movie maker built ground up in assembly

    - imagine an entire windows 12 operating system made in pure assembly

    - the performance profile of each of the above must be absolutely wild

    - since i am an an absolute newbie at assembly at this point, a sincere question to the some of the more englightened ones reading this, how and where do you recommend I learn assembly? I understand its different for x86 x64 and ARM? where should I start?

      I would recommend RV32I. I started with Z80's, but that's something too esoteric for 2026. Thanks for giving rhun a try!
