Assembler ??? What's that ?

[K_F]

Talking to a young guy at work and so it happens I also do software development..  :icon_mrgreen:

Really!! what language do you use ?
Assembler.
What !!
Assembler...
Never heard of it.

What do you use ?
Java because it's free, I was thinking of C++ but it's expensive.

Check out Visual Studio Community on MSoft's Website, it's free.

Well.. No wonder we look like aliens
:t

There are also Pelles C, Digital Mars, Open Watcom, Orange C/C++ and other ones.

And most Windows have .Net compilers csc.exe and vbc.exe already there.

Long ago a friend of mine made this joke, "What do you say to an ADA[TM] programmer ?

"I will have onions with my french fries please."

C is eternal, assembler has been around forever, many can use BASIC and there are some that work in Pascal. The rest come and go.

Hello sir K_F,
just a minor mistake, assembly is the language, assembler is the program.

Hi mineiro!

Some of us share a similar dialect:assembler means assembly, and compiler means assembler

In Spanish the name is the same for both: ensamblador

I was riding on a local shuttle about a week ago,...and, a guy sits next to me (last seat on the bus),...with his skis and stuff. So, I asked him: Is there still any skiable snow up there (referring to Mammoth Mountain) ?? He says yes,...describing it as perfect spring corn snow.
Anyway. we got talking about travel,...he said that New Zealanders are the most friendly people in the world. After awhile, I asked him what he did for a living,...and he responds 'I'm a chip architect'. This was so unexpected, that it took me a few moments to process. Then the conversation segued into programming languages. I told him that I programmed in C and assembly language,...and, he looked at me with some interest (the way a predator looks at prey). He says,...'you should learn Python'. Then he just started repeating: Python, python, python, python, python,...:icon_eek:   
...I had to actually run from the bus,...

Hello sir HSE
Thanks for point me these distinctions. Gracias hermano. I have seen some caballero work, abre los ojos ensamblador, now things make more sense.

It's like BIOS, french and russian guys talk refering about female genre. On portuguese persons that are learning think that it's plural because end with 'S', and most of these persons talk on a female genre too. On some boards we say to these guys that BIOS is a boy. And a discussion start's because some say about waffer that is female genre, others say that it's a System so it's male genre, ... .
