Some rankings can remain unchanged for centuries, like the eight great masters of the Tang and Song dynasties.The names of Han Yu, Liu Zongyuan, Ouyang Xiu, Su Xun, Su Shi, Su Zhe, Zeng Gong, and Wang Anshi will never be replaced.

Some rankings are updated annually, such as the annual box office ranking of movies.

There are also some rankings that exist on a monthly basis, like the programming rankings among programmers.Assembly Language: A Timeless Tree in Programming

The world of programmers is ever-changing; you never know which expert will develop a new programming language next, or which language will dominate in the future.

Assembly Language: A Timeless Tree in Programming

Thus, many “old” veterans give this advice to the younger generation—

“Learn some more durable knowledge, invest more energy in knowledge that has a longer decay period.”

However, in the world of computer languages, the language that can be called “durable” is undoubtedly assembly language.

Although assembly language has seen a gradual reduction in its applicable fields due to its complexity, this does not mean that assembly has become obsolete.

Because assembly is closer to machine language and can operate directly on hardware, the programs generated have higher running speeds and occupy less memory compared to those in other languages. Therefore, it is widely used in programs that have high requirements for timeliness, many core modules of large programs, and in industrial control.

Furthermore, although there are many programming languages to choose from, assembly remains a required course for students in computer science majors at various universities, allowing students to gain a deep understanding of computer operation principles.

Today, I recommend the KX course—
