Good as in powerful, yes. Good as in enables you to write really fast, efficient code, yes. Learning assembler also is helpful because it helps you better understand how your computer works.

However ... Is it good as in easy to learn? Heck no. Good as in practical for most purposes? No again. Nowadays, for most programs, there's not much point in programming in assembler, unless it's for the core engine of a 3D game or highly graphics or calculation-intensive program.

Is a big truck that can move 30 tonnes better than a small sports car that can go 200 mph?

Give me your opinion tinman.

Actually I for one would go for the sports car...

Faster means better... and I'm not talking just about cars!

ZING! That was a good one

Which architecture are you working with, Tinman? I thought about reading up on ARM9 a while back, but then realized that I didn't have time to even try to get into it

I am working with the x86 Architecture.

Yes,I am cool enough to use x86 *HESITATE* *DEEP BREATH* Did I hesitate?

lol, I'd rather work with ARM9 or ARM7 and make some leetsauce DS/GBA apps. lol.

x86 I admit ain't that great.
