Why are you even discussing this?

Assembler is potentially faster, buggier and certainly takes longer to write.
So what? If I want a very fast program and are less concerned with developing
time I use assembler. If I need to write a program fast that does something
without bugs I might even use Basic :-) All languages out there has advantages
and disadvantages, we use the one that is best suited for what we want.
If a product doesn't do what you want it is 99% sure that the reason for that
is poor programming practice rather than the language involved.
Programmers out there should try to get a working knowledge of many languages
and use the one that meets their present needs.

Just my 0.02 SKR worth ( heck, I don't even own $0.02 ;-)
