What do you mean "[Assembler] was before even my time". Last year I
bought a 68000 single board computer [1], cranked the RAM up from
0.5Mbytes to 2Mbytes, and have spent a happy time writing a
multi-tasking kernel for it - in assembler.

And yes, you can write spaghetti in assembler too - but you don't have
to.

[1] Actually, if I'd known about the Arduino at the time I might have
bought one of those.
