14 YEAR OLD KIDS PLAY WITH MCU'S?

> 1. It does not eliminate unused (uncalled) code
> 2. It does not optimize (like: inline code that is called only once)
> 3. It does not warn when I exceed 8 (or 9, or 2, ...) stack levels
> 4. It does not (automatically) hack around the stack limit
> 5. It does not 'share' file registers used in different pieces of code
> (pseudo-stack)
> 6. It is slower to write (general rule: lines/hour is the sam in each
> langauge, HLL typically produces a few instrutions poer line fo HLL, so
> it codes faster, even considering an asm coder would have used somewhat
> fewer instructions)
> 7. It is more difficult to read
> 8. It is more difficult get target-independence (I know, even HLL won't
> be totally target-independent)
> 9. It does not transparently handle coding/banking (I know: not all
> HLL's do that either)
> 10. It is more difficult to explain to 14-year old kids
