Despite being someone who wrote x86 assembly for years on DOS in the 90s before learning C (and even continued in at&t syntax on Linux for some time), I find this to be a silly exercise in time wasting beyond its academic and comedic/entertainment value.
I love this as it expresses how I feel about JavaScript :P
Processing time is insanely fast according to the footer. But the time it takes to transfer the document to Denmark is 500 - 1000ms. Seems like a CDN is better than performant code in this case... Still an impressive feat.

I couldn't read the article on mobile due to live notifications.
Dear AsmBB.org admin: Have those be turned off by default. They're annoying even when they don't occlude the entire screen.

Yep, the alerts occlude must/most of the page. This is probably the first time the creator's encountered HN rush hour.
