       @clacke I'll just take a macro assembler.It's all ones and zeros at the bottom anyway.

       @jankoekepan I've been told Forth abstracts and composes better.Actually almost anything does. 😀

       @clacke This is true.  But any layer between me and the metal needs to justify its existence.  If I'm just banging out some automation quickly, awk, bash and python are OK.  If I want to get serious control without ambiguity?  A chip with a clearly documented ISA and good macro assembler is a good place to start.
