A year or two ago I was looking for an assembler, don't remember whether for Mac or for Linux. Naturally, my first thought was about NASM, because I used it successfully in the past. I was unable to find a current maintained working version then, so I turned to YASM, which I'm using since. If I was mistaken, or if NASM had a period of "low maintenance", my fault and my apologies. I'd probably still per YASM, but whatever the consensus is for on this subject, is fine with me.
