In my experience it is now such that even just writing and running a C++ program on a modern computer is considered "extremely low level". It's almost an extreme thing to do to decide to write a native program.

Having written crt0 and for that matter hardware bring up for a couple of chips, that made me laugh.

But I haven’t tried to design a (extremely primitive) chip since I was in college, so there’s plenty for others to laugh at me for too.
