Comment on Ask HN: What is hand-coded assembly language used for these days?

Comments

Going the other way around - can anyone think of an open source project that could benefit from some assembly optimization, and isn't? I'd love an excuse to play with this stuff in a useful fashion.

(I love what I do, but my twelve year old self would be disgusted that I'm not writing games.)

video playback and compression is sufficiently cool, and could benefit from optimisation. Have a look to see if any help is needed in the ffmpeg tree at the moment.
