Very cool, if impractical (it’s likely that you’d never get an ASM app through the App Store Approval process).

ARM Assembly is a much more Byzantine creature, than the old 8- and 16-bit versions I used, way back in the Pleistocene.

I’m always a fan of starting from the “bare metal,” to learn, but these days, it’s a long trip. When I was just a wee sprog, it was only a couple of steps away.

It's likely in future, you won't need app store approval process. I hope that EU will nuke Apple with some huge fines.

And there will be corporate tax per each EU country, it's ridiculous corporates are raking huge money here and paying basically nothing on taxes, well only in Ireland and they're having party.

Anyway, asm is great if you are using iOS emulator and need to do something and since you have root there, well :) (not apple meme simulator)

You can already deploy apps on alternative stores inside of the EU. Apple has some bullshit fee but Epic has promised to cover that for AltStore.
