Thing is, Iggy, once you think the way the machine works and
have routines, Assembly language can go together very quickly.
And you have complete and total control of the system.
And Assembly can be a lot of fun, too!

I found assembly (8080A, Z80, and 80C85) fairly easy after learning to
program my HP RPN calculator. d8-)
On the slow old desktop computers (and especially on my RS M100 -- what was
the clock speed, 1.5 kHz??), a dab of assembly here in there made it much
easier to tolerate the interpreted BASIC that was churning away on top...
