Well if you're going to that extent, then by using those you are just
sponging off the compiler authors. How will you ever learn anything about
programming with a compiler that does all that work for you? And for that
matter, assemblers are for wimps as well. Write it in raw hex numbers. No,
wait a minute, there's all that microcode inside the processor that you're
using. Not to mention all that silicon layout. Hmm... if you want to do it
all yourself, better go live in a tree somewhere without a computer.

Seriously, though... can we give up on this pro/con libraries discussion?
