Linus Torvalds he gave his opinion on assembly








In this Simple Talk interview with Linus (http://ift.tt/1wJAa22 ... -torvalds/) he gave his opinion on assembly :








" I don't think you need to learn assembly, but I do think knowing C is useful if you want to be a great programmer.








Why? Not because C is some magical language, but because C is in many ways closer to the machine than most other modern and still used languages. And to be a great programmer, you really do need to know how the machine works, I believe. You need to really understand what can be done efficiently, and what needs a lot of work from the CPU or the system..."








What do you think about this answer?
