The only known reason by which assembly language may die is when the hardware it is being used for is phased out. To make a point, I would say that with the use of your high level language, the closest link you can get to the hardware is the language used to create your high level language. You can never get close enough with your high level language to the hardware compared to the machine language itself, or the so called Machine Language. We must not forget that our machines (Computers) can only recognize 1's and 0's which necessitates the use of a primary language that computers are using, and you have no choice but to adopt this language if you want to get the optimum speed. If you want to use only the high level language, Fine!!!. But for us who are already well associated with machine and assembly languages, we will continue using it and also try our very best to learn the high level language. One thing should be clear. When there are no compilers, assembly and machine languages can still continue regardless of platform. I THINK THIS CALLS FOR A REVIEW OF THE HISTORY OF COMPUTERS.
