## Step One: Engage Motor Neurons
Ok, ok, this has nothing to do with sporks. Assembly is a whole lot cooler than we give it credit for,
knowing it can be a major lifesaver. Ever wondered what the hell the was actually in your executable?
Ever had a program that didn't quite work, and you struggled to figure out why?

Ever wanted to squeeze a little more code onto your user's thimble-sized SSD? Assembly is here for you.

# Languages: Why You Should Have a LISP
## Software Autonomy and You
If you really want to start from zero, how do you begin? At the very bottom of the stack,
computers speak machine code, often translated from assembly. The easiest way to get rolling
is with a lovely family of languages, often referred to as "concatenatives" or "stack languages".
## Interesting content path
low-level programming walk through basic language/computer theory
- Explain a few simple assembly instructions
- typed operations vs typed data
- code as data as code
- Write a simple FORTH using stated assembly instructions
- memory management strategies
- stacks
- binary formats (ELF/PE32+/MachO)
- Write a LISP using that FORTH
- garbage collection
- metaprogramming
- Prolog, SAT Solvers, SMT Solvers
- Automata
- Game of Life
- parsing
- Solve world hunger
