All programming languages, known or unknown, are based on ASM.
The main problem is that the hardware infrastructure is closed source,
And the funny part is that for closed-source hardware, it's the dream of an open-source world utopia.
maybe with processors whose physical transistor structure can be changed with software
Maybe this problem can be overcome.

You can use an FPGA, to make like an cpu.
Google for riscv and fpga.

IMHO, now this is one of your best comments. The problems are :
1."we" need to abolish IP (intellectual property), which will not happen in baby-boomer capitalism era. We need an era without Microsoft or Apple OS. Maybe not even Linux is the future for OS, as long as developers are paid by the wrong team.
2.We need a open-CPU architecture. Shame that Intel. AMD and NVIDIA will follow us to the tomb. Arm, are you still alive?
3. And we need to kick the mathusalemic gnu-GCC compiler into obviation. Welcome LLVM and Co.

Summary: we talk about OPEN-source/design for hardware, software and compilers. Hm, a hard nut to crack when USA is printing petrol-money from thin air, like hell. But ... keep dreaming, it is good for soul.

my phone running slow
When I click the content link to read the content from the first link you gave
redirected to another site!
and that hit the link below!?

"Your monthly limit of free content is about to expire. Stay on top of historic market volatility. Try 3 months for $8.75 $0.25 per week. Cancel anytime."

What will happen now !?

if you need to be paranoid !
The number of sites that really provide technical information is very, very few,
but there are too many commercial news sites that make theoretical commentary.
every site, even with the standard way of working
it somehow backs up some traces of the user.
with a revenue sharing model, just like advertising revenue.
Company models will emerge that combine all metadata.
here it is not what ads to serve people from metadata.
In the future, it will turn into a system that brainwashes people.
(example; displaying personalized election promise ads as personalized ads)
long story short; please write (comment) the topic summaries you want to share in the forum!
In summary: you don't have to provide a link!
and also ; wikipedia pages are more successful in technical content!
( I think there is a paradox here ! )
