ASM is for twits, the clueless, poor and morons mainly AFAICS.

I guess this is where we will part company on this subject.

Me too........

Funny, this week I spent two days porting 5000 lines of C from an 8051 to
a 16bit PIC. The PIC is vastly superior to an 89C51ED2 in almost every
respect including being less than half the price.

If back in 1994 when I started on the first version of those 5000 lines I
had chosen to write in assembler I would be feeling a bit of a clueless
twit this week and probably for another month or two.

I see no way anyone can write complex asm as fast as coding in an HLL.

What's the cost of 'time to market' and lost sales when it makes the
difference between being say the first out with the new widget and 3rd or 4th
?
