One area which sometimes needs to be included in the 
equation is the ability to do crucially time bound things 
within crucial time. This may relate to code length but may 
be more complex than sheer size. While often enough HLL will 
do well enough here too, when speed or other crucial and 
complex inter-relationships matter assembler often has the 
edge.
