ASMLings is an interactive educational tool that provides a sandboxed environment for learning Intel 8086 assembly programming, inspired by the Rustlings project. It uses a Rust-based 16-bit x86 emulator to give instant feedback on exercises, making assembly learning engaging and accessible. The project stands out for its novel application of the 'lings' concept to low-level assembly education.

Target audience: students, educators, backend devs
