gollark: x86-64 MOV is Turing-complete apparently, soooo…
gollark: No it's not, could be even more incomprehensible.
gollark: Right, you said most shouldn't.
gollark: Unless you have good reasons other than "I hate it", don't go around saying "nobody should use this".
gollark: Well, that sounds like preference, not something which necessarily applies to all users or prospective ones.
