I have a question for all the hardcore low level hackers out there. I ran across this sentence in a blog. I don't really think the source matters (it's Haack if you really care) because it seems to be a common statement.
For example, many modern 3-D Games have their high performance core engine written in C++ and Assembly.
As far as the assembly goes - is the code written in assembly because you don't want a compiler emitting extra instructions or using excessive bytes, or are you using better algorithms that you can't express in C (or can't express without the compiler mussing them up)?
I completely get that it's important to understand the low-level stuff. I just want to understand the why program in assembly after you do understand it.
