For example, I started writing an assembler for eko in the Nim 
language. Because Nim has a syntax similar to Python and is 
compiled, it is easier to understand and faster to write.
And there is a library like ```nifasm```, using which you no 
longer have to define the binary manually for, for example, 
```mov``` And you create a variable as a buffer and use 
```emitMov``` to create the binary and store it in this buffer.
I think the hardest part for me was creating the elf.
