It's called 'staged learning'.
Staged learning is the only way for humans to learn, due to the
limitations of the human cognitive system. Specifically, the
way short-term memory and long-term memory facilitate learning.
Those who lack this understanding of how humans learn, tend to
throw too much at novices.
Like making a simple program do a bunch of extra work for
literally no reason?
Also, this apparent drive towards requiring novices to
understand the implications of their code, in terms of
optimising the assembly that gets produced, is just nonsense.
They'll never get pass the for loop!
This has nothing to do with "optimising the assembly".
