	Actually, to master assembler (for one cpu) and C are almost the same 
effort. Indeed, I like to think of C, when properly used, as a portable 
assembly language. This is why its most appropriate for operating system 
development. Until C++ gets its ABI situation fixed, C is going to hold onto 
that title for some time to come.
