Why? Well, because after finishing the CPython Internals book, the assembly code was still something of a mystery. I wanted to see if I could write a CPython Extension in 100% assembly. Programmers are used to working on the guts of a system and manipulating the ugly-inner workings to get it to follow some simple instructions. The working machine on the outside obscures a network of patterns, patches, and workarounds in its internals. It’s a thrill, but its a whole different skill to put it back together. Kids who took a screwdriver to something, just to see whats inside it. I’m sure many of the people reading this article will have been one of those kids. On occasion, you need to take something apart and put it back together to fully understand it.
