Larry, you're a real die-hard. I started (in 1964) with a machine which only had an assembler….was years before I had a block structured compiler (1975…CalTech Pascal). Yes, I still code some things in Assembler (generally stuff having to do with interrupts & critical sections), but other than that, If I never have to use it again it will be 27 minutes too soon. (obviously that is a personal opinion….I'm just tired of all the slowing down in assembler (MY slowing down…..takes MUCH longer to write) compared to the HLLs).
