I have no personal experience, my first things were POKEing machine registers and after some GOTOs writing assembler.

That was the second natural step after BASIC in 8-bit times. Looking back I think it was quite a sensible learning path.

Nowadays we waste a massive amount of time discussing philosophy and nuances instead of getting sh*t done.
