Far, but being a programmer is usually not about using assembly anymore

Edit: to elaborate a bit, TIS-100 has an overcomplicated architecture but oversimplified command set, and restricts the coder way more than the real assembly (e.g. you have a limit on line length of 12 chars or somewhat close, and that includes the opcode itself). Imo these design decisions allow it to be interesting and simple enough to comprehend, but severely limits what can be implemented on that architecture in reality without requiring for lots of boilerplate
