Low-level programming for JavaScript devs?

Question

What resources (with implementation) would you recommend for a JS / Node.js developer wanting to learn about lower-level / systems programming like memory management, I/O, etc ?Can learning Rust or Go help fill the gap about these topics ?I see you can run Rust code in Node.js via WebAssembly. There are not many beginner friendly (not coming from C/C++ background) resource for that. Do you know any ?Does learning basic C/C++ help ?Thanks

You have a handful of low-level languages listed. It doesn't make sense to try to put those through a JavaScript lens. Rather, pick one to start with and build some programs with it. You should quickly start to see how memory, I/O, etc, are handled.I would also recommend the book "Code: The Hidden Language of Computer Hardware and Software" by Charles Petzold as a general introduction.
