"http://www.reddit.com/r/ProgrammerHumor/comments/1ykdi6/web_development_with_assembly/" My top 10 favourites (from about 50): "Yes! This is absolutely ridiculous... but I am intrigued and would read the shit out of this. It's almost as crazy as writing server side code in something wacky like javascript... oh wait..." "No! You should compile Assembly to Javascript." "As someone who's developing in XSLT and javascript as well as assembly right now, I'd prefer the farkin assembler." "Is it just me or does XSLT suck at recursion?" "Is it just me or does XSLT suck at recursion?" (yes, it was posted again) "If the Nazis had encrypted their communication in XSLT during WW2 they would have won." "Its not that hard you casuals." "I'm sure there's some company out there that's been hobbling along for a couple decades with a web server written entirely in MS Word using VB macros." "Oh, the Chimera Book is a must read." "I'll keep sending them an e-mail about this every single day until they release the book." A personal note: I would *definitely* read such a book! :) Regards, Bill -- Join an active tech-news-and-discussion community in comp.misc...
