This has been discussed many times and there is definitely no general answer.

What tastes better? McDonald's or Burger King? I repeat: It's a matter of taste!

Try both and find out for yourself which is better for you.

I prefer assembly as it gives me the maximum control of the source code because I wrote it myself. Thus I get a more efficient program.


One of the resons I don't like C:

In C you type

[instruction xyz]

and the result in assembly looks like

[do this]
[push to stack]
[do that]
[move here to there]
[pop from stack]
[add register to accu]
[move there to here]
[jump somewhere]

If you had written that code by hand using a human brain instead of a fixed routine from a dumb machine, you only need:

[set port x.y]
[return to label z]

to achieve the same result.



Calm down, all you C programmers out there... This is only MY OWN opinion.
