    Secondly, assemble language is still more efficient than C. Using it on a RISC processor is far easier than a CISC (X86). The number of instructions available on an X86 has becomeinsane.



    I have to disagree. It does not really matter if you shave few instructions off from assembly routine. It is more important to optimize at algorithm level and there higher level languages are better.

    I wouldnt call PPC asm easy either. Coding on 68k asm was easy, I did that many years before MorphOS, but PPC RISC architecture is load/store architecture where you have to write lot more instructions to do same.

    C is way to go.
