I have written many, many lines of assembler in the past 5+ years. (I don't
know the exact number of lines, but it has to be in the tens of thousands.)
I'm currently finishing off a project which will be close to 10,000 lines,
all in assembler. BTW, I have never used an HLL as a "precursor"; I think
that is a truly preposterous idea. I have, however, used various sorts of
assembler-like "pseudo-codes", on occasion.
