I'm super-disappointed I can't make it this year! We were evicted from
our house, have to move, and I can't bail for a week and leave that
all on my mrs while she kicks along the fulltime job :(

It's not just low-level code. It's also very high level code. Gamedev
is a unique (and extremely interesting) field which combines and
tightly integrates almost every imaginable field of software
engineering. I can't think of any that are left out, or any other
industries that also share this property.
I argue, if you can make a modern high-end game in a language, it can
do anything.
