"Assembler? What, your joking right?, lots of development time, no portability, hard to maintain."

Compilers can't do everything. Some specific operations have to be done in assembler even if that assembler is wrapped up in a C function. Eg: interrupt calling, processor ring level switching

Buy yourself a ticket on the clue train sometime.
