    People believed that they could write better assembly. For speed and size.

    Now we know we can’t write better C.

    Though my teacher in tech school a few years ago ran an entire OS, where everything is written in assembler. What was it?

      Maybe Kolibri OS?

      Its an amazing project, booting from a single floppy disk into a full graphical OS with multiple tools. And that on PCs with almost no RAM.

      I sometimes use it to backup ancient PCs.
