Reception
The Los Angeles Times called it "outstanding in all respects".[1]
It was the 36th highest rated show of the week.[2]
gollark: And it gets shorter, yes.
gollark: Yours prints `[number] [maybe fizz and/or buzz]`, the python version does *not* and it's shorter if it is allowed to
gollark: Also, it does not seem to be doing the same thing as the python version.
gollark: And yours seems to be doing some bizarre thing where it's hardcoding a table of the different things it should print for each modulus.
gollark: You can include "fizzbuzz" and stuff inline in the python version, but not in the assembly version.
