> That said, I think I get your frustration in that sometimes the process of _finding_ the explanation that clicks for whatever your question is (how to emit assembler?) can be really painful because all the explanations are shallow.
While I agree with your overall point about different learning styles, that's not really the problem I'm describing. Introductory material on emitting assembly or similar, doesn't exist for any learning style as far as I know. The best that I know of are some dead-tree books, and their emitters target dead or obscure architectures. None of the code examples are ones I could run on my machine.
> However, I don't think it's fair to take that frustration out on the writers (I got the impression you were, but maybe you weren't and just felt like venting).
That's a fair criticism: I apologized to the writer in a different post.
