Though it's debatable, most programmers I know use the word "hack" to mean something done in a way that wouldn't work in certain situations but they're fairly certain these situations won't come up.

A common misconception. Assembly isn't automatically faster than C; it just gives you more control, and for a small project that means you're less likely to leave in unneccessary parts than a compiler. C compilers these days have some incredible optimisations however. It is very much possible to have an ASM project that is slow as hell - the only example I can think of off the top of my head is MenuetOS, but that's because of the whole driver issue I think - but anyway, with regards to large projects, when you have that much control you're either going to go insane or start writing sloppy code.

But yes, it is possible to write assembly code that is faster than any other language. The potential is there; but this is irrelevent when the coder is only human.
