Who's going to show up to the next big demo party (like the ones they arrange in Europe), having e.g. hand coded 68k assembly or done some highly impressive 4k demo, having been intimate with every single instruction?

Uh, many people. There are plenty of demo parties with retro categories in the compos, and plenty of people still interested in writing their own code for those platforms.

		Glad to hear that! But then again, might be hard to know how their approach was. Traditionally people write a lot of code and prepare before the compos, it didn't all come during those few hours.
