Logan, Why not use C? It's highly portable, and it's easier to read, understand, write, and modify. Assembly isn't comparably faster enough to justify the significantly greater time it takes to write it, and you can always optimize important loops to assembly later.
I'm using Python for the prototyping language for my own projects. Python is specifically tailored for clarity and rapid development, so I can focus on my ideas instead of how to effectively use the language. I can easily port key parts of it to C or even assembly later on should efficiency become a problem. The time savings I gain from being able to rapidly test ideas and try out new approaches is invaluable. I can write or rewrite an entire system from scratch in mere days instead of months or even years, so my only slowdowns come from actually thinking about the design, rather than coding.
