I expect this has been said before, but why not do it in whatever language you think has been written about the most, with the greatest amount of referenceable data and examples. Which probably isn't assembly, and probably not C either.

Which will probably store up a problem for the future, with an outsized amount of programs written in languages that were popular on SO when models started learning...

Wow. I guess we'll never know the full facts, but I didn't think that was a move which the Josh Topolsky I thought I knew from Engaget/ThisIsMyNext/Verge podcasts would have made.

Just goes to show: you never really know people. Or, of course, that every man has his price ;)

Unless there's going to be a techie Bloomberg podcast - I'll miss Josh's work.

@TheVerge: hopefully you can now put all this behind you, and crank it into second gear. There's still so much potential in what you have.
