I like the inline assembly feature of D. But language features aren't
ignorable, in real world you often meed or have to modify or fix code written
by other people. This means that a programmer that doesn't know assembly may
be forced to fix bugs in modules that contain functions with asm. So every
language feature is not free, it has a cost.
It's cost is a lot lower than writing the assembler in a separate asm file.
