    C++ then ASM

    It'll take a long long long long time to learn C++ but it's worth it. After that learn ASM and you'll have unlocked all the secrets.

    Go to C++ and it's a step down or sideways to anything else. ASM is fun, but who would want to do a large program in it? A masochist, or somebody who really has a lot of time on their hands, that's who.

    ............. ok look

    ASM unlocks all the secrets and is extremely useful for many reasons. You can do things in ASM that is impossible or extremely complicated to do in higher level languages. You can optimized code that needs to be fast. It also gives you many advantages for debugging code. Many advanced technical documents require an understanding of ASM to read. Basically, your going to be a better programer after learning ASM.
