+Read this first [https://irreal.org/blog/?p=12304](https://irreal.org/blog/?p=12304) I'm going to be critiquing it and you should read it and understand what it says first so you can make fun of me for misreading it.

+- It's not verilog
+- Most C programs written by beginners aren't operating systems
+- Most C programs written by beginners aren't using syscalls directly
+- C doesn't map cleanly to asm due to UB and compiler optimizations and also because of compiler optimizations
+
+```c
+// what x86 asm does this translate to and is it really a clean mapping?
+int example(){
+    int a = 5;
+    int b = something();
+    return a;
+}
+```
