I have to say, it's quite amazing a single man can make such a good assembler, there is just something special about fasm. Other assemblers i've used, there was always some annoyances with them, but with Fasm, I can always work at ease. Just want to thank the author for this assembler, good work tomasz.

I want to join this praise!
Amazing assembler!

me too!, tomasz would never know what i did with his assembler =)

it is part of my life, for these i started using it, till now, it been more than 6 years or probably more.

thanks and i really appreciate fasm & this forum.

Tomasz is a genius.

nmake was just ranting on some C++ (or rather HLL) issues.
Freedom of opinion is a good thing - it allows us sometimes to see things in different light.

I think that FASM is not just an assembler it's something more nowadays, it's a kind of social phenomenon. Tomasz was a creator and a sower who sowed a single seed that was meant to be a simple tool but quickly grew and gave another seeds sprouting in the minds and hearts of many followers (deserving a homage as well, but this is a theme for another story).

As a side note I'd like to say something personal: when I came to this forum I met many people whose programming abilities taught me something about myself - I discovered limits of my knowledge what was a painful but at the same time very valuable experience.

What sets FASM waayyy apart from the other assemblers?

MATHEMATICS.

People with Physics and/or Mathematics background tend to excel in computer programming and tend to invent BIG INFLUENTIAL THINGS that are different from others.

Dennis Ritchie - Physics
Brian Kernighan - Physics & Maths
Tim Berners-Lee - Physics
Bjarne Stroustrup - Physics
Tomasz - Mathematics

C, C++, WWW and FASM invented by physics and math guys. That leaves only Gosling and Linus as CS guys

R.I.P Dennis Ritchie.

It's not hard to guess what subject system error has a degree in.
