If "historical" UNIX is one's focus, then need to be able to read (and edit) ATT assembly The author claims Intel syntax is ubiquitous. True. But so is "historical" UNIX Long rants about asm syntax are old, tired tropes. Perhaps they are entertaining to beginning programmers but today such rants achieve nothing except to put the sanity (and hence the judgment) of their authors into question The existing ATT syntax assembler in "historical" UNIX source trees will not be translated it into Intel syntax By all means, _use_ Intel syntax^1 But if "historical" UNIX is one's focus, comfort with _reading and editing_ ATT syntax, despite all of its alleged flaws, will continue to be useful 1. The author's own footnote: "You can tell GCC to use Intel syntax for its inline assembly with -masm=intel. This doesn't work with Clang; complain to them.

Nice, I've been trying to learn assembly myself recently and built a little REPL to play around with it directly https://github.com/pirate/assembly-repl But I've struggled with the IO parts, it seems every system is so different, it's hard to live without LLVM-IR as the middle layer abstracting away compiler and target differences.
