René wrote the best programming environment in the world, I know of, without them. When I compare the user experience of HLA to RosAsm, it is for sure, no obvious reason to belive you over him. Before I learned to program in asm with RosAsm, I had actually only a vage understanding of structures. Once seen their true nature, and understood the job they really do, and beeing able to replace them using equates, I feel empowered (in my understanding). Your structures are, if not the worst things, a tool for alienation of people.
From: the-o/-/annabee on 20 Nov 2005 21:10 About converting AoA to RosAsm syntax. When we have clipped the self selling propaganda, and the chapters on how to get HLA to work at all, plus the numerous other bullshits, the essentials would amount into the &NULLs. The most interessting chapter in AoA is imo the one on the CPU history. When people leave AoA is at the first mention of HLA. :) Sorry Randall if it hurts you, but I belive thats the truth. I belive that AoA could actually become every aspiring asmer bible, if you took HLA out of the equation, and explained the various topics without the bias of HLA. The HLA syntax is screaming at one on the pages. Its screaming : "I am really a newbie asmer" and "Leave before you get demented too". Certainly, there could be valuable infos there, like for instance maybe the explaination of how to use the FPU, and or infoes on the inner workings of it, and a complete explaination of real numbers, for the significant few cases where it will make a diffrence to have every fact visible. I wouldn't know, because the mere mention of HLA disables fully my reading faculty, and this is no joke. Something happens in my brain, and it refuses to work until at least several minutes after closing the PDF.

We'd be hearing about how great RosAsm is because it does true structs, unlike a few other assemblers that don't.// Nope. RosAsm never needed conditional assembly. René implemented it because of user requests if I remember correctly. I found a use for it, in order to help TEST it, in my source. I could well do without.

If the HLA bible was extremly useful or interessting the way it is now, there would be an AVALANCHE of post in the ng, and millions of HLA supporters. I can spot one HLA programmer (sevag) and one Troll, and one sucker :) If this is his "crop" from 5 00 000 hits, this will explain a lot.

smile, Dem jawz are flappin but I ain't hearin much chewin. Never mind being cast aside like a used condom, you can still make it in the world AFTER you eat that hat for trying to feed bullsh*t to the members. You don't have to feel jealous about Betov dancing "cheek to cheek" with anyone he thinks can deliver the magic silver bullet. You know he whores around to get any support he can. Just spare us the "flappin" and start with the chewin. Regards, hutcgh at movsd dot com |
