Intellectually, assembler programming is the less demanding since its
level of abstraction does not go any further than mapping a few binary
numbers to a small set of usually well-chosen mnemonics.
Unless it features a powerful macro-language that lets the apprentice
create his own high-level patois on top of the assembler, that is.
No, I've dealt with an assembler named 'SLOE' that had an elaborate
mechanism for laying out code in memory in a way that the CPU would
be happy with. Between that and the instruction prefect, the thing
was famously called "immune to programming."
