Hi all --

You might all remember my blog posts using D to write an assembler for the Intel 8080 CPU. I woke up this morning to a nice email from a stranger who had told me he had read through those blog posts and liked them so much that he ported (and extended) the assembler to Python. You can read the full blog post here: https://blog.paoloamoroso.com/2021/11/an-intel-8080-assembly-suite-in-python.html

But I'd just like to pick out a nice little line from the post about D.
"The code in his posts is written in D (also known as Dlang), a system programming language in the C family I didn’t even know existed. But D is so readable, and Brian’s commentary so good, that his published D code is as effective as pseudocode."

A nice little nod to D.

Suite8080 is making me love Python even more. But sometimes the Python code I write, which is supposedly at a higher-level of abstraction than D, seems more verbose, like in the assembler’s parser.
