Right! I've always wondered why so many of the other programmers I have
met have held assembly language in such low esteem. Depending on the
particular make/model of processor you're dealing with, it can be
downright elegant.

I've always thought that one of the more simple assembly languages would
be a great 'first language' for someone wanting to learn how to program.
Who's with me?
