To send the point home even more, this is how in python you make a line of text display:
print("Hello World")
This is the same thing, in assembly (According to a blog I found. I can't read this. I am not build better.)
But python turns that cute little line up top, into that mess at the bottom.
I like python. Python is cute. Anyone can read python.
That assembly is for a DOS application. It would be more verbose for a modern Linux or Win32 application and probably require a linker script.
Technically, not quite. Python is interpreted, so it's more like "call the print function with this string parameter" gets fed into another program, which calls it's own functions to make it happen.
