gollark: If you write that in a high-level language, you can focus on the concerns relevant to that instead of... whatever you do in assembly, poke registers or something.
gollark: You probably won't add any value to, say, an inventory management program for a business, by reimplementing interrupt handlers when someone has already done it in a bunch of libraries/tools already.
gollark: But in assembly it's harder to make things which are actually useful to users.
gollark: Very indirectly. But you don't really have to think about them as a high-level programmer.
gollark: Interrupt handlers and whatever are further from the sort of things which are actually useful to program and do useful things for users than webservers.
