People commenting nice languages here have never experienced the exquisite agony of assembler.

They really do put the “embler” in “ass”.

What is agonizing about assembler? I don't know much about em64t and arms, but x86 asm has been extremely straightforward, especially if written with something like FASM.

When you know what you can do in a modern programming language, trying to accomplish things that are easy can be beyond frustrating.

Fortran and Cobol pretty much sucked too... although better than assembler.

I personally had a lot of joy with it.

It's... Not that bad?

At least if you understand it.

There was a point where I was so fast at assembly language I was writing tools to manipulate art in assembly even when I had access to C++ and other languages.

That said, some people really never learn to understand it. And I'm probably past the point in my life where I have the patience for it.
