FYI for all:

[Pinky]

There is no programming language called assembler. An assembler is a program that takes written assembly language and translates it into machine language to be run on a computer.

Also, assembly differs between machine (processor) types. Assembly code written for an x86 can not be directly run on something like a Motorola proc.

Sorry for the rant, I just had to get that out.

Yeah, there's nothing as non-portable as ASM

Note:

On Alta Vista, the phrase, "written in assembler" was found 3,374 times, while the phrase "written in assembly" was only found 2,834 times.

Hmmm, if someone created an assembly language to assemble Java byte-code, that'll be portable, no?

Hmmm, I don't get it

Why would someone create a language, which would compile into straight java code, which would then have to be compiled again so it could talk to the machine?

Why not just use Java?

[biosx]

Right? Why would you use a criptic language like assembler?

ADD SUB A
PUSH A
PUSH B
B+=CD

ewww.

java use virtual machine to imitate the hardware parts of the computer to achieve the portability, and all the java class will be like the army of modules on top of the virutal machine and instruture the machine with 'on-the fly' bytecode. If there is a direct machine assembled codes layer directly from java, it loses the portability.
With faster Hz and big memory, the lag for translating class file to bytecode should not be a big problem for regular applications except web with huge transactions involving a large numbers of objects.

hehe I think only Zoma read my original rant!

Yes, even the scary BoogyMan is a smartass... Welcome to the programming forum, "Boogs!" (note that if I put that in quotes I didn't actually say it )

Here's a sample for you:

.code

mov cx, 10

:StartTheLesson
mov BoogyMans_arse, my_foot
loop StartTheLesson

mov garbage_can, BoogyMan
.exit
end
