I did computer science, and we used MIPS Assembly..
I ask you, when has anyone EVER wanted to use a MIPS processor lol.
Also, for AI, we were forced to use LISP, which the lecturer didn't teach. He graded us using a poorly written script, and if your program crashed his script, he gave you 0. You only got 1 attempt. But, when is the last time, ANYONE has used LISP either lol
And Perl.. And PHP, etc
If you dont understand why the specific instruction set you studied isnt the point you should maybe po back to school.
Snarky but true. MIPS actually is common in network equipment. It's niche, but not completely unused. Also, it's really an excellent instruction set for teaching.
That is true.. However, I guess I'm a bit salty we didn't do ARM instead
That being said, admittedly, I've never used assembly again anyway lol (except once, for reverse engineering something)
