 		 #160786 - Oh no, not that old chestnut
Responding to: ???'s previous message

What I meant was that it generates the least voluminous object code.

That's not down to the choice of programming language - that's down to the skill & experience of the programmer.

We've seen plenty of examples here of novice, inexperienced programmers producing unnecessarily "volumious" code.

Assembler, like any other programming language, is just a tool - the quality of the result depends more on the skill of the user than the particular tool chosen.

Of course, with assembler, it doesn't add anything to what the programmer writes - so any code bloat or inefficiency is entirely the programmer's own fault!
