Mu, however, is designed as a safe way to program in [a regular subset of
32-bit x86 machine code](subx.md), _satisficing_ rather than optimizing for a
clean syntax. To keep the mapping to machine code lightweight, Mu exclusively
uses statements and most statements map to a single instruction of machine
code.
uses statements. Most statements map to a single instruction of machine code.
Since the x86 instruction set restricts how many memory locations an instruction
can use, Mu makes registers explicit as well. Variables must be explicitly
