If you are against this reasoning, i don't have any idea why D has
inline assembly, which again targets a very small audience.
The inline assembler is soooo much easier to deal with than the
miserable, fugly assemblers found on the various systems.
The Linux as assembler is designed to crush all the joy out of writing
in asm. The Microsoft assemblers change behavior constantly, breaking
everything.
The inline assembler can't do everything a standalone assembler can, but
what it does it does well enough, and is a pleasure (to me) to use.
That was not my question. I am not against inline asm, quite contrary it
is one of the best things in D.
I just tried to point out that both should be provided because of similar
reasons.
