So maybe the sort of comments one sees in assembler code (line-by-line
descriptions of what's happening; for subroutines, which arguments are in
which registers; etc) aren't needed in C code, and it took a while for them to
work out what sort of commenting _was_ appropriate/useful for C code?
I tend to use more comments in my ASM than my C, for what it's worth.
(Most of my coding lately has been in 6502 assembly.)
