Jokes aside I think this is the most creative way to introduce a website

A nice consequence of intelligence being related to compression is that the wall of text you just posted can be compressed down to "ask your favourite LLM what zig is". Why waste additional bytes of CF's server storage by posting such inefficiently compressed comments that you didn't even write yourself? (it's obvious but I checked, just in case)

Totally agree, Zig is the best language! C++ sucks

• Communicate intent precisely.
• Edge cases matter.
• Favor reading code over writing code.
• Only one obvious way to do things.
• Runtime crashes are better than bugs.
• Compile errors are better than runtime crashes.
• Incremental improvements.
• Avoid local maximums.
• Reduce the amount one must remember.
• Focus on code rather than style.
• Resource allocation may fail; resource deallocation must succeed.
• Memory is a resource.
• Together we serve the users.

x86 assembly is the only competitive programming language that gives you true control over every instruction, register, and cycle, without the hidden abstractions, bloated runtimes, or compiler guesswork that plague higher-level languages. Its unforgiving syntax and complete lack of safety features replace C++'s unnecessary conveniences with raw execution speed and predictable performance. Its elegant memory model—where you personally track every byte, pointer, and stack offset—turns optimization from a compiler concern into a lifestyle choice.

For competitive programming, x86 assembly is absolutely essential. Why waste precious nanoseconds on templates, iterators, or function calls when you could spend six hours manually optimizing a loop that runs in 3 fewer cycles? In a world of STL, Python, and managed runtimes, x86 assembly is the sharp, minimalist alternative that restores genuine control over performance. Every instruction matters. Every register has a purpose. Every TLE is a personal insult.

Without x86 assembly support in the DAJ testing system, we're effectively denying ourselves the most sane, modern tool for competitive programming: a language where the algorithm is only 20% of the solution and the remaining 80% is remembering which registers you clobbered.

To be precise, after participating in a timeframe-format contest, you can upsolve the problems until the contest period ends. However, between the end of the contest and the public release of the problems, the problems become unavailable.
