Dude didn’t stutter. Saving the woman.

The Intercept is the only publication pushing that story. Al Jazeera only references “purported” information from that very TI article so, by and large, it’s unsubstantiated. Also, when that was happening Kahn was already serving a three year corruption sentence. I don’t see how any of this actually substantiates your original claim.

I would argue that ASM isn’t “powerful”. It’s direct. You can access advanced features of a CPUs architecture with the trade off limited portability. Sometimes it’s necessary but power comes from being able to express complex control and data structures in a concise and readable amount of text.

The subjective topic of what “concise and readable” means is where the language wars come in.

What Crockford did was enable a lot of devs to realize there was a viable development platform built into the most prolific and open network client in the world. For that he should be commended but it should have never been taken as “this is a viable general purpose language”.

I love how after a decade pandoc is still Haskell’s “killer app”. smh
