I learned assembly on small micro processors long before any high 
level language came into existance for them. SO I am partial to 
assembly and developed a sense of what the hardware internally 
needs to do so that the hardware externally needs to do.

I am not knocking languages like C, Fortran or others. I personally 
prefer assembly, then basic, then Fortran. 

Reading C code to me is like reading a bad poem from ee 
cummings.
