@amoroso Oh that's suprising! I was under the impression that everyone wrote ASM by hand

@sos Those C compilers also came with assemblers, I had the Lattice one.

@sos @amoroso I think full asm was just demo scene and really hectic arcade style stuff. From the little code I’ve seen open sourced, it seems a mixed route was popular, like on PC. Performance critical stuff in asm and the rest in C/Cpp/Pascal. On Amiga you could then even go a step further and code everything by hand and bypass Intuition ( the kickstart/WB supplied routines) to access the different chips directly
