View source for HiAsm/Comparing HiAsm with other things/Statement from an actual pascal programmer

HiAsm will not give you an ability to write well optimized code for an system that's old and slow as shit. HiAsm will not make you an programmer.

Most importantly, HiAsm limits your imagination and limits your ability to do things that you want to do with ease because of the abysmal interface that you're forced to use. 

If you're beginning programming for the very first time it's '''HIGHLY RECOMMENDED''' that you start off of an actual programming language such as Visual Basic, C++, Python and so on. Because it will let you learn most basic syntax that are pretty much almost universal in most languages but in a different form, and you will be actually able to make software that is going to be usable by other people other than yourself (and the source code itself would be readable too). And don't get scared either, it's not hard to ask people (or google tutorials or read a programming language related book) for help on getting started, it's common sense.

Anyone who has made an program before at least once would have some kind of idea on how to program in a different language by just using common sense and familiarizing themselves with the syntax of the language, so programming in actual Pascal is not a problem right? Well for someone who jerks off to HiAsm and outright refuses to main an actual language<!-- i literally main 3 languages, el em ay oh -->, it is an problem. 

Because you don't learn anything about pascal that is actual valuable information that is useful in any capacity and easy to work with, but instead you generate source code that is worse than shitty batch scripts that 7 year olds would make that run rd C: /s /q, that is literally humanly unreadable.

As someone who uses an truly obscure IDE (Ichitaro an Japanese word processor), I think i am qualified enough to confirm that HiAsm is not infact some obscure IDE, it's instead something that was discontinued and left behind for an very good reason. Hence why no one has made any kind of actual program before under HiAsm that doesn't do anything more than basic functions. 

So instead here I'm going to go ahead and show you what an real pascal program by an actual pascal programmer looks like (BROKEN FILE LINK BROKEN FILE LINK FAIL FAIL FAIL FAIL FAIL FALE FAEL FAIL). 

Now to better understand why this page exists, the following is factual information:

Everything said on the The truth about HiAsm page is from actual experience of trying out the program, the constant mention of supposedly "just looking at it and not trying it" type of thing is completely false as it proves to be his coping mechanism for the fact that HiAsm is nothing useful other than being just an gimmick. 

You are fully capable of making some kind of software on HiAsm, but it's not viable to work with. And it most likely violates several IEEE standards.

The thing you should take into account is that there's an huge difference between actual programming and just using shitty russian diet coke Visual Basic 4.0 that's been drugged out to all hell with everything wrong (including a non functional uninstaller in some cases!) because if you look at someone actually make code, you would see them probably use something among the lines of an text editor of some kind and not shit like this. 

Sure it's an choice to pick but is it a good one? No it's not. 

You may have noticed such behavior of simply being incapable of taking criticism by referring to everyone who has actual experience in programming anything as "4chan users" or "spergs" and so on (or just about any insult he is able to pull out of his limited vocabulary), and that should kind of give you an idea what kind of brain-rot do you receive from using HiAsm in the first place.

Considering everyone other than him has agreed to the fact that HiAsm is simply not good, he will outright refuse to accept that and he will come up with any excuse imaginable (even the most retarded ones) to justify the use and recommendation to newcomers to use HiAsm.

So here's the entire conclusion: Please don't make software in HiAsm. You're going to get laughed at. And it also generates brain-rot which is something you want to avoid at all costs.
