Re:Avo: Better X86 Assembly Generation from Go by pcwalton on Thursday January 10, 2019 @08:06PM (#18880145)
I use ARM and x86-64 extensively and any minor inconvenience caused by different syntax for trivial operations is completely outweighed by the downside of being incompatible with the CPU vendor's manual.

LLVM MachineInstr and Cranelift do this much better than Go does, by maintaining a clean separation between the low-level IR and the assembly language.
