If you want to learn *real* ((( `\
assembly language (meaning, _ _`\ )
traditional Intel x86 mnemonics (^ ) )
that are universally understood ~-( )
and accepted throughout the _'((,,,)))
programming world), then no... ,-' \_/ `\
don't bother with HLA. ( , |
`-.-'`-.-'/|_|
Randy claims that HLA is *AN* \ / | |
"assembly language"...and from a =()=: / ,' aa
strictly technical standpoint,
he might be correct.
But the problem is, HLA's so-called "assembly language"
bears *no* relation whatsoever to what the rest of the
world means when it refers to "assembly language."
HLA is almost totally proprietary. Its odd-ball con-
structs, weird mnemonics and silly, convoluted external
libraries simply don't exist in the real world.
HLA is like Esperanto: it's a totally made-up language
that nobody actually knows or uses...and if you mention
that you're learning it, everybody will either laugh at
you, or have no clue what you're talking about. Hehe!
Do yourself a favor, d00d, and learn *real* assembly
language, using official Intel-style x86 mnemonics.
It'll save you a lot of time and embarrassment. Really.
