I speak fluent x86, I've been writing xor eax, eax before rax was a thing and you had to wonder whether you shouldn't be using xor rax, rax (you shouldn't), I figured out how to write linux binaries in pure assembly before arch was a thing, just don't throw sse or something arcane like aaa at me. But damned if I know a single opcode.

Reverse engineers are a whole different kind of breed. And apparently they hate rust.
