Folk Theorem: Assemblers are superior to Compilers

Hmmm.


I don't think the point is really about assemblers Vs compilers. Many
elequent statements have been made about this debate in this group but we
all already know those answers. Maybe the point to be made is that there
are people out there who are willing to make contentious statements in
high-profile magazines which then lead to 1) such a debate 2) un-informed
people who take anything on paper as gospel (not those in the know :-)


Could articles of this type lead to customers saying "What are the odds of
you coding my new super-ultra-complex system purely in assembly language ?"
