Teletype (a poem for programmers)

Some of the information that inspired this for me:

  • This is inspired by the assembly language, one of the "lowest level" languages, which could be said to be one of the most basic languages that can make commands to the CPU and deal with the computer's memory and inner workings more directly.
  • 0x0e is a hexadecimal code that is used with a certain CPU register to enter "teletype mode", which allows printing text directly to the screen, such as text you might see the moment you boot up your PC.
  • Memory in a computer is often stored on a stack, which is like a stack of cups by the punch bowl. You grab the top cup first, which also happens to be the cup most recently placed on the cup.
  • ; followed by text indicates a programmer's comments on the code in assembly
