Why does Donald Knuth write TAOCP using assembly language?
I don’t hate using assembly language, since I have written some in my os course. But obviously, assembly language lacks abstraction, you have to pay more attention to the details.
Assembly vs. algorithmic languages (like C, Algol, etc) [duplicate]
This question already has answers here: Why does Donald Knuth write TAOCP using assembly language? (4 answers) Closed 8 years ago. Usually, computer science papers describe algorithms in Algol-like pseudolanguage, similar to Pascal or even C/C++. But Donald Knuth uses his own assembly language (MMIX). Are there any good known algorithms inexpressible in Algol-like language […]
