>Yes, I could just write in assembly, but that would remove the efficiency of my creativity as a programmer :) I choose my tools to assist me in both beautiful expression of the idea that others can read (and as Wirth points out in Programming in Oberon, Assembly is unreadable) and to assist me in correctness.

	Assembly is tedious -- and hardware specific (how much time did the
PowerPC designers spend coming up with "EIEIO" as an instruction? rather
than something like memsync; 68K with its differentiation between data and
address registers, along with lots of addressing modes; ARM Thumb-2
[purported RISC architecture] with some instructions essentially embedding
what would be stand-alone shift instructions as just parts of the
addressing mode... Give me a good old "logical" Sigma-6 meta-symbol file!)

	PERL is unreadable...
