Compared to Assembly language, C++ is fantastic! :-P

It's actually a lot worse than ASM, there are far more ambiguities in C++. And yet here I am, still developing with it some 30+ years later.

Don't worry, I'm using Rust were it makes sense.

Where does using Rust not make sense?

Just got a Commodore 64 and been having fun with ASM. I'm also weird. Don't be like me.

Assembly was my first language after BASIC - I know I'm weird, and I'm okay with that:-). Tbf it was for a calculator, so simplified. Any language ofc can go off the deep end in terms of complexity, or if you stick to the shallows it can be fairly simple to write a hello world program (though it took me a month to successfully do that for my calculator, learning on my own and with limited time spent on that task:-).
