x86 has been around for so long that i don't fear my code could be outdated in short term.
Anyway I quite agree with you. I think that asm is *absolutely* necessary to fix your bugs and optimize your code. Not only to use inline asm (which is really interesting) but also to learn how your high level language source is assembled.
ASM lets u understand the inner workings of an OS and can't be compared to something like java or even ansi c:
They offer a variety of APIs which hide the truth of the platform you're developing on. But that's why people use them of course...
goddam ! what's your problem with assembler ?
it simply rocks !
Maybe Joe Coder prefers using his good old VB6 but i can do much more than what he does (and pretty fast) using TASM or MASM and a resource editor (to create user interface..)
And it can be PRETTY fast too !!!
Linux asm can be really interesting too !
