Basically you are not making sense,
even for one professing a slight memory. 

Your timing requirements ar by large not short enough 
to require machine language decision speeds.

Scripting language witches internally are just if-else-then constructs,
and are perfect to implement logic showing a clearer human visible script, 
not for much faster execution.
