I tend to have some fun pointing out on online forums like HN, that 
despite common belief, it is 100% ANSI/ISO compliant to have C and C++ 
compilers that don't expose inline assembly, cpu intrisics and that 
those languages no longer map directly to modern CPUs architectures like 
they did in the 70's.
