I have to praise the interactive style of this content.

As a C/C++ dev, I've always thought assembly was much harder. But this interactive content makes assembly clearer.

RISC-V assembly is mostly very easy (but still super tedious). The main difficulty is their insistence on unnecessarily abbreviated instruction mnemonics. `lw` instead of `load4`, `j` instead of `jump`, and so on. I don't really understand why. We aren't writing these on punch cards.
