@viraptor (i can't reply directly to messages sometimes for some reason. is it a karma thing?) , So, what you are saying is that if you want to simulate A in B, but B needs an abstraction layer to simulate A, while A can simulate B more directly and naturally, that makes A more primative? So then does that mean that C is more Primitive than Assembler?

Could you use the reply button when replying instead of using the @name notation? It's kind of hard to follow your responses.
I would have if I could have, but I didn't know the rules of when reply buttons appear.
Click on "link" for the message to reply if you don't want to wait.
Replying to replies to your messages has a cooling-down period built in on this forum. Give it 5 or so minutes, and the reply link appears.
