So is the latter part just an imaginary restriction. I find it hard to
believe that in this day and age you could find yourself programming a
large application in any language and not have any libraries to work
with.

Jesus Christ is just one another example of guys (so many),
confusing *language* and avaible materials. The real base
of all the HLLs illusions.

In the actual example, what JC wanted was an available material
with which he could have written:

call InitCamera
call GetCameraFlow
.... and so on.

Would any Assembler propose such a Library, he would have been
happy with Assembly. Unfortunately, nothing like this exists.
So he concludes:

"Well, i have to do it all "by hand", in Assembly. Let me go to
Basic"... Translation: "I am not a pioneer"...

just missing the point completely. A CALL is a CALL, whatever
the language, and if nobody writes the materials, the materials
do not exist. Period. Fact is that somebody did it for Basic,
and that nobody did it for Assembly, and the reason why, has no
relationship, at all, with whatever the language is.

The actual state of Assembly is the one of a viscious circle:

L0: Nobody uses Assembly
So forth, no materials
No materials
So forth, loop L0<

As i have always said, since day one of SpAsm/RosAsm, the Assembly
Rebirth will not *really* begin before the day when a significant
number of Assembly Templates Collections, Assembly DLLs, Assembly
Wizards, Assembly Applications Builders,... will not be developped
for Assembly.
