It's not portable between operating systems nor computer system architectures. ok, so you have like randall hyde's HLA and then there's about a half-dozen assemblers, at least for ganoo/lunix x86_64. then there's JVM (which nobody programs using assembly) and webasm, as if java applets weren't good enough to begin with. you still have to rely on unstable ABI if you actually want to avoid reinventing the wheel.
I heard from some old-timers that they used to have to write their own line-drawing routine to do graphics programming. the equivalent for me today is having to rely on the lowest common denominator instruction set for a given architecture, and even then, to actually get anything done you're going to be writing your own standard library or pulling one off the shelf. no thanks.

You don't know what the fuck you're talking about. Your entire comment is just a string of misinformed nonsense that is not even worth correcting; it's just that wrong. Go and actually try to use Assembly for something and then -- and only then -- give your opinion about it.
