ASM > everything else

Am I the only one who hates coding in high level languages? I can write all kinds of games and programs in 68k assembler, but I just choke all over C. It just makes more sense to deal with actual memory spaces than to mess around with pointers and libraries and shit. I don't like having to use any code that I didn't write myself.

Unless you program kernels and drivers for a living, then there is no reason to use Assembly. "Close to hardware" is a myth perpetuated to make proponents of assembly language feel good about themselves; you can access hardware just as easily in C, via system calls provided by the kernel and memory mapped I/O.

I submit to you that assembly is nothing more than the illusion of being close to hardware. It's a language which gets transformed into a set of numbers in a specific way; nothing more. C is a more expressive and equally powerful language which also gets transformed into a set of numbers.
