	At that time, compilers were not able to create highly optimized executables, and CPUs were not as efficient, which caused many programmers to code in [[assembly language]]. Many countries, including Russia, had poor accessibility to the Internet, and it was problematic to find information about CPUs. Many programs produced errors, and it was too difficult to understand the source of the problems.

	At that time, compilers were not able to create highly optimized executables, and CPUs were not as efficient, which caused many programmers to code in [[assembly language]]. Many countries, including Russia, had poor accessibility to the Internet, and it was problematic to find information about CPUs. Many programs produced errors, and it was too difficult to understand the source of the problems.
