I could probably but been a while. generally people don't need the assembly unless you are talking something like gamedev or hardware firmware but even in those fields it's becoming less usefull.
-
byte33067yI had to do it for coursework, otherwise I don't use it.
So yes, if needed I can manage to make something decent in it -
Voxera116407yI did some experimenting in assembly but its to much work and I will never get good enough to get any real benefit from it.
Have been toying with my own assembly for my scripting language to make the actual runtime less complex but its not finished yet. -
Falk3117ya little nasm x86-32, creating small gtk+ applications.
It also helps me understanding things h9gher level langs do -
Building and programming single board computers with old processors is one of the things I do, before I move on to the next one. So I've at least tried assembler on 80C188, 68008, Z80, 8085, 6809, 6502, 1802 and 2650. But I couldn't just do most of them from memory without documentation, and a few I didn't go much further than Hello World and getting other people's code to work on my board.

I have experimentally with IBM System/370 (old mainframe stuff) thanks to coursework. Still traumatized by that, but I can program and troubleshoot in a pinch

bjoer751777yGet me a C64 or an Amiga, I can still code there. Did demos and games back in the days.
X86 is also ok, only used that to optimize things. Most fun thing I did was a database file system, and a library for handling weighted B-trees for the in-memory indexes. -
I can only read most dialects and not write in them, though I could probably get something simple up and running in ILASM
-
bjoer751777y@kxspxr Hmm, might have been to some - at least in the late 80's - went a lot to Denmark, Germany and France.

🙋♂️Z80 but it's been a while. Still really fun to watch it work on a graphing calculator.
