Assembly is very simple (at least RISC-V assembly is which I mostly work with) but also very tedious to read. It doesn't help that the people who choose the instruction mnemonics have extremely poor taste - e.g.
lb,lh,lw,ldinstead ofload8,load16,load32,load64. Orjinstead ofjump. Who needs to save characters that much?The over-abbreviation is some kind of weird flaw that hardware guys all have. I wondered if it comes from labelling pins on PCB silkscreens (MISO, CLK etc)... Or maybe they just have bad taste.
I once worked on a chip that had nested acronyms.
My bet is on the teaching methods in uni. From what I've seen, older teaching methods use terrible variable names for a production environment. I think it unfortunately sticks because students get used to it and find it easier & faster than typing things out.
Do you realize how old assembly language is?
It predates hard disks by ten years and coincided with the invention of the transistor.
Do you? These instructions were created in 2011.
I'm not sure what the very first assembly language has to do with RISC-V assembly?
