I wouldn't call it "tricks". It's "technics". Advanced programming is usually 
not done by newbies.

mKEYB is 98% high langage, but still by far the smallest general keyboard 
driver ever.
FreeDOS kernel is 99% "C" (with a couple of "technics")

with the use of modern tools (including inline assembly) assembly is close to 
"dinosaur fate".
