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. ;)
