As the original author wrote, assembler is top level leet-ness. However, we aren't in our teenager years anymore and cannot spend holidays hacking our Amigas, so time constraint is a thing. To be honest, assembler coding was always tedious to say the least. Debugging, Gurus, just to name a few in inconveniences.

This opened a chance for Amos.

If you have a look at today's leet-ness, have a look a The Black Lotus. They do everything with a cross-development pipeline, they even forked Amiga UAE to streamline their process. TBL is really top notch Amiga coding, fantastic stuff.

Amos and cross-development compile to machine code in the end. Besides that it is about easing things.

For reference, here is Abyss' fantastic project: https://github.com/BartmanAbyss/vscode-amiga-debug
