Just how did you manage to come to that conclusion?

I'm surprised you didn't directly mention me here, "or C (Rod
Pemberton)".  I'm not sure whether to thank you or not.

That's still not sufficient cause someone to not use C.  C and Forth are
the most ubiquitous languages (i.e., widely available).  So, you need
to use one of them for portability.  Otherwise, you're stuck with
porting the assembly to each and every new platform.
