I get the impression that knowledge of assembly language can be useful for any high-level programmer, because it helps them understand how computers work, and thus write high-level code more intelligently.
I am tempted to start learning assembly language only for this reason, but I also wonder if it is useful for me, as a fortran programmer, to actually write assembly language.
Can I find a rewrite of simple fortran procedures in assembly language to better solve scientific problems?
Sorry if this question was answered elsewhere.
