Of course "can be", I just can't resist... But you are certainly a far
superior guy to achieve that, from which planet ?. BTW, "as reliable" for which
size of projects (here on earth we have many programs with more that 100k lines
of high level language), and for which cost ?

Just a side note, I've done also lots of assembly, just that in my field
(Information Systems) I do not see assembly as a possible choice :)
