What’s more, it is super useful to be able to read assembly from your high-level tools when something goes wrong. Of course, one of the problems is that each assembly language is different.

However, there is hardly any mention of Java and assembly language code working together. In an earlier article I showed how assembly language programs can be called from Java applications.

You’ll find the instruction sets small enough that you have to do most of the work yourself. And that is, after all, the point of learning an assembly language: learning to think like the silicon.
