C is for kids, real men code in assembly.

So are you a real man or a kid?

I am a real man and I like train too, just saying.

Nope, real men code using a magnetised needle.

@anuditverma trains are only awesome if they are coal powered (just kidding electric Ines aren't bad!) not many assembly programmers out there though. I think lay use assembly for risc

Alright, what about women?

@alyx well women are great at multi tasking, need less to say more.

And their dads - machine language. Yup 👍

So kids have super powers and real men don't?

@alyx do you code in assembly, just asking not being genderist

Maybe the op should have said grown-ups rather men

@philcr I do not, though it's something I've been meaning to learn for ages.

@alyx I learned on AVR microcontrollers back in the late 90's it was good fun, I still code PIC's using assembler for certain stuff. I like how it makes you think.

I don't know what's it's like for x86 though as I've only ever coded high level stuff for x86_64

So who realised that assembly just takes too long to code in and decided to create a higher level language to increase "productivity" ...

Whoever it was, THANK YOU ;)

And who codes in both? Does it mean I'm a teenager?

Well then acc to you Linus Torvalds is a kid

Real men code with transistors and logic gates.

I am using assembly... I have to code an optimized softwace on an arduino, which just doesnt work in cpp...

No.
