I blame 8086 segmented memory and the rest of its horrid architecture on why no one liked programming in assembly language. There were other elegant RISC machines with flat memory models and large general register sets that were a complete joy to program. Memory paging allowed you to do everything you needed to do that segmented memory provided and left the programmer unbothered for the most part. |
