It is worth noticing that hackers also like VHLL, since they are
interesting to play with. Scheme is well liked (though APL isn't. So it is
tempting to see the "hacker attitude" as fashion?!)
Hacking evolved through time. Today, I think coding in assembly is more
the realm of what is known as 'Real Programmers" and not hackers.
(Hope you are all familiar with the funny "Real programmers don't Eat
Quiche" and its relatives)
