Off-topic.


There are even higher level *assembly* languages than C. I once
needed a "parser" that would read a comma separated string of
keyword=value pairs in a VAX assembler program.


It just took one loop over


MATCHC ....
MOVC3 ....


instructions.


Then I thought, well - lets describe what happens here in C, so that my
successor knows what I meant to be done here.


After 3 aborted attempts I gave up in horror.
