      Nice, that’s a beast you got there. Some of those 8 bit pics don’t have enough flash for printf.

        What’s funny is we’re coding something fairly simple in assembly at my university, so even this PIC’s resources are overkill for us (PIC18F45K22)

        Having more instructions would be nice, though. Any loop other than a simple decfsz-goto loop requires some ingenuity

          Nice. Asm probably has an advantage here. C’s stupid integer promotion rules can sneak up on you and also blow up flash use. To avoid it, you need to cast everything in every math expression.
