Assembly for anything that HAS to
be assembly: bootloader, GDT/IDT
setup, interrupt handlers, context
switching, and port I/O wrappers.
C for everything else: window
manager, apps, drivers, GUI
rendering.
Some parts I probably could have done
in C with inline assembly but I found
writing pure ASM for the low-level
stuff helped me understand exactly
what was happening at the hardware
level.
What choices looked different to you?
I'd love to hear your perspective
always looking to improve!
