For a contemporary example of an assembler with a more algebraic
style, see the Analog Devices assembler for their ADSP 21xx Digital
Signal Processors. Control structures are not well supported (apart
from DO UNTIL which is an ADSP-21xx hardware primitive) but arithmetic
expressions use operators, rather then prefix opcodes. (Actually there
are some serious infelicities that arise from this approach, but it
has some good ideas).
