I do not take seriously any embedded thing written in C or any HLL for
that.

eh, using C, with the modern compilers highly optimising,
they 'know' the processor', may actually improve performance, and reduce
chances of errors that could have occurred by misunderstanding some CPU features
by an asm programmer.
Lots of stuff is in C, my Linksys wireless access point for example.
It is open source, runs Linux, and is in fact a small computer.
No way would I dream of writing all that in asm.
Its reliable, been up for weeks now... (since I last accidently switched it off).

I once had a job working on firmware for an 80186(!), that was written
in "turbo assembler". ;-) When I had to code a particularly hairy routine,
I wrote it in C, compiled it with MSC with the "asm listing" output, and
tweaked that a little and just plopped it down in the ASM.

But, I did have to tweak it a little here and there.

Cheers!
