Worryingly

I was hacking away at some x86_64 assembler today
when I found myself obsessively indenting my code
by EXACTLY 4 spaces or (multiples thereof)

Who'd have thought it.

What's wrong with structured assembler? :)

Nothing -- it's called "C".

Very much true. In fact C is by definition assembly (as the creators just added whatever features the machine supported to C)

I haven't seen this joke on the Net in years, does anyone still remember it?

"C combines the power of assembly language with the readability and maintainability of assembly language."

Seen it, and it has validity. But I'd rather work with C than actual
assembly any day. And these days, C code is just a bunch of directives
specifying how a compiler should build a program; optimizing compilers
add, remove, reorder, whatever they think fit. It's a pretty high
level language now.

I thought it was like this:
assembly a low level language
C a medium level language
Java a high level language
Python a very-high level language
