Something's intrinsically wrong with the argument made in this thread
against generating assembly code. That's exactly what happens every
time you write code in C.
I don't know whether C compilers generate assembly mnemonics or direct
machine code, but the distinction for this argument is irrelevant.
The argument in this thread is that it's not worth the *human coder*
writing assembly, not that no assembly code is involved in the process
anywhere.
But the OP said of his friend:
"He dynamically generates mashine code and call that from python."
I took that to mean he dynamically generated machine code, not that he hired
some human to do it.
