I'd agree.
I off in its place MACROASSEMBLER, which is fairly old, very flexible
and portable. That and a good macro library you too can have something
looking almost like C or pseudocode if thats your wish.
The only problem is I doubt there many that still know it or use it.
I think them small chips that run chevy fuel injection are programmed
in C++ crosscompiled, or so they would have us believe. ;)
