- Dear Elliot,
-
-
-
-
- A long time ago people would resort to binary machine code for the
- lowest level work, and do the rest in assembler.
-
-
- Then people started to use high-level languages like fortran and
- have to resort to assembler for critical parts of an operating system.
-
-
- I am in no doubt that C++ will shortly take the place of
- "assembler".
