In mathematics variable = value , variable receives value, ergo op dest src . That is logic.
That is just an arbitrary notation, nothing to do with logic. In English at least, "add 4 to x" is more natural than "add to x 4". Ergo op src dest
"Add 4 to x and store result in x" vs "Let x be x + 4"?
I initially learned the Intel syntax, and preferred it for awhile. But the more I work with non-x86 CPUs, the more I prefer AT&T just because it feels less different than everything else.
Much agreed. Intel syntax just seems somewhat alien.

But English "add 4 to x" tells you nothing about where to store the result. : - ) "Add 4 to x and store result in x" vs "Let x be x + 4"?
So "add 4 coins to that bucket", generally means at the end of that operation the bucket contains at least four coins plus any coins that were already in the bucket.

op src dest is the logical order, the rest of the syntax I don’t care about much.

Contemplate the AT&T vs Intel syntax for x86 addressing modes and say that again.
X86 addressing modes are an atrocity: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/63571979/clarifying-thre...

Indeed. Besides, “let there be light” is clearly destination-first, so this matter was already resolved by Genesis 1:3.

That's interesting. My entire world revolves around x86 and ARM, so "Intel" syntax (which to me mostly means op dest, src) is what seems normal to me.
