Back to RISC:

When I am programming ASM on ARM, i have more "appropriate" feel. On
ARM, your ASM code is much faster compared to C-produced code, than on
x86.

I love possibility to condition every instruction.

how long are you programming ARM? What OS?

Zero and none. And this is a real and serious problem to me.

I have been a bit relunctant at buying any ARM thingie, up
to now, because i am very unsure of what the future will be.
Of course, if the "widely used Processors explosure" goes
ahead, in some significative future, Assembly is definitively
dead, and i will choose to stop any programming activity,
because writing one version for each Processor is, evidently,
not a possible way to take, for real-life Applications. And,
as i am interresting by nothing else but to write real-life
Applications in full Assembly... all of my approach will be
proven wrong by the most absurd way ever possible, that is,
by making what has been pure mythology, since so many years,
a real thing in the very close future.

Now, writing, say, one another "RosAsm" for ARM would be a
perfectly possible thing, like what FASM/ARM is. But... what
for? This is nothing but a demonstration of the complete
failure of any Assembly viable way.

One of my sweet dreams would have been to propose some kind
of "minimalist Assembly", which limited Instructions Set would
be some king of "portable" thing from Processor to Processor.
But even this reduced scope of Assembly seems to be impossible
to implement out of a C manner, this is to say, out of anything
i would accept to write.

One another sweet dream of mines would have been to have the
Processors like ARM proposing some kind of emulation for assuming
x86 Assembly Applications. But nothing indicates that this could
ever exist, as far as i can know, whereas all money means do exist
for the reverse.

Do you imagine any way out?
