The Story of Mel is one such example of programmers that were unwilling to accept that programming in machine code was no longer useful or relevant in most situations. Mel wrote machine code, even though he would have been able to develop software that was almost as good in a lot less time using assembly. A few programmers, including Mel, continued using machine code.
If you look carefully, you can find one or two people who sound a lot like Mel at the OSDev forums. The biggest difference is that they think assembly is the best language, but Mel thought machine code was the best. Because exist people who sound a lot like Mel at the OSDev forums? Because they think assembly is the best language? -- View this message in context: http://openbsd-archive.7691.n7.nabble.com/The-OpenBSD-developers-approve-optimizing-assembler-and-compilers-tp281477p281857.html Sent from the openbsd user - misc mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
