What is your opinion?

Learn a language that compiles to a binary that doesn't need a runtime.

Rust/c/c++/whatever

Learning assembly

Learning Javascript is like adding monster trucks to a bicycle.

@olback honestly I think golang is a great middle step for high to low level

@Techno-Wizard I've never tried go so I can't say anything about it. I've heard a lot of great things about it though.

@olback very c-like but with a garbage collector and a strong sdk

@olback hold the fuck on there, what do you think your goddamn OS actually is?

@nitwhiz okay okay, take it easy. The languages I listed run on microcontrollers as well where there is no os. I guess there's still a bootloader though.

@olback well you aren't wrong actually, but if you reduce the features of languages like js to the features of languages like c (that being essentially just writing memory blocks), of course you could compile it down to assembler and thus being nearly runtime-less.
