There is also the problem of momentum to overcome. I see a trend going
towards VHLL languages. Pretty soon, programming is going to be done
with drag and drop components with little actual knowledge required.

I program with drag and drop, but i still program in assembly.
I generate assembly code for wizard output.
I generate assembly code for scripts.

That's not what I meant by drag and drop. I was thinking of Java beans
and friends.

In addition. Someone must be around to write theese components? And since
moores law failed, then the whole previous strategy of MS also failed.
They likly have a new one, but new hardware will arrive and asm will be
needed. Otherwise, if new hardware will not arrive, asm is needed to speed
up things. Win-win.


Sure, assembly may always be necessary in that respect. But that alone
will not bring assembly to the mainstream. Just like now, there will
be a few who program in it entirely and some who dabble in it but many
who don't know anything about it.
