Been an old fart, I started coding on the C64 in 6502.
It wasn’t that hard to learn enough and, given I was cracking writing crack-intros, it has helped me hugely in the modern world. As an example, threading is child’s play because I did VBL interrupts.
However, the institutions today naturally teach something more relevant to getting a job as they did in my day (68k, Turbo Pascal and some C).
