I should add that it's still possible to write bad, slow, bloated assembly Smilie It's not intrinsically better, but can be used that way.

On another take, just consider that the market for assembly programmers is not exactly hot right now.

no matter what language i learn i will always have soft corner for assembly language... back in college when they introduced it in curriculum i used to hate it since it just mov commands everywhere in MASM and found it quite difficult to understand.. but when i started to get a hang of it, it all seemed so beautiful... cheers to Assembly :-)
