Heh. I graduated in 2009 and we still had some assembly in my degree program. It wasn't even being taught in a specific CPU's assembly language at that point, they had invented some assembly-like language to teach us about registers, bitmath, and jumps but it was actually interpreted by a Java CLI tool that produced the output.

I think it was just there to teach us how good we have it working at higher levels of abstraction.

Oh we had to do stuff with MIPS on one of those development boards

Took like 10 tries to actually upload the program to it even if your code worked, it sucked
