Handwritten assembly is great, again.

The 'programming language problem' is - which language is the best to interface between humans and machines.

Thanks to AI, natural language is becoming more and more a programming language.

But, an unintended consequence is that AI is making it exceedingly simple to write assembly.

Two areas of computer science, that will 'explode' over the next two decades are:
- the re-construction of fundamental computing paradigms, to make assembly even slicker
- the emergence of raw assembly as something as intuitive as higher level languages

Compiled languages would, and, should - die - unless their specificity of use and elegance of syntax, meaningfully reduces the cognitive load on AI Models.

Python, No-Build-JS - will stay far ahead of the pack. And assembly, will slowly, but surely eat away at C, C++, Rust, GoLang, and the rest.

The criterion which will likely decide the race - is which low level language best complements the strengths of Python, JS, and natural language.
