I've written code in Assembly and forth for both!
The Rep is full of it!

By the way, Forth was written for the PDP11.
It's been ported to many other machines.

Assembly is the native code for any machine.
You write the boot and many other hardware interfaces in assembly
if your C compiler is not up to the task.
