Okay, but the design of the system does not much to do with
the choice of the language. It's not that C coders don't
design and start right away with an empty main().

Asm macro's are (sort of) subroutines. If they are large
and often used, they eat a lot of space as well. But they
are a great help to avoid many silly coding errors.
