    I was actually tempted to try learning nasm for funsies a year or two ago until I discovered it doesn’t support ARM processors 🥲

      Assembly languages are always architecture specific. Thats kind of their defining feature. Assembly is readable machine code.

        nasm is an assembler though, not a ‘languages’, that only supports x86/x64. gas for example supports a wide range of architectures so you can write risc-v, arm, x64, etc.

          The reason I used the nasm logo is because Assembly itself doesn’t have a logo since it’s not really one language. This is the one I’m with the most familiar with so that’s the one I used. This meme would apply to any Assembly language.
