TeamAROS bounty program updated : Comment 63 of 79 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Don Cox on 26-Jan-2004 11:50 GMT | In reply to Comment 62 (Matt Parsons): "I think in modern terms the PPC is not easier to program than the x86, and C compiler are better than people at coding for modern CPU's with far better ability to schedule instructions, use Vector/Floating point units, and make more efficient useage of Registers."
Somebody has to program the language compilers, and there is always a bit of assembler in hardware drivers.
IIRC AmigaOS4 contains a couple of thousand lines of assembler. Don't know about MorphOS.
It is certainly true that the days of coding application programs in assembler are gone. IMO the days of coding programs in C should have gone too. |
