The key thing to understand is that the added efficiency you'd probably
get by using assembler or a more expensive compiler usually isn't 
needed.
I mean, all sorts of people were doing all sorts of useful things with
BASIC Stamps running slow interpreted basic with rather severe limits on
program size.  Think of a compiler as a faster basic stamp instead of a
slower assembler and you'll be getting the idea.  (especially true if
you can make use of useful libraries that come with the compiler.  Jal
has a lot of useful libraries.  (so to speak.))
