Yeah, but can you take your modular ASM code and use it on an ARM
processor, or an Intel, etc?

This is one of the reasons why I like C, because I don't have to care
which processor I'm running on. This is certainly not to say that all C
code is portable, because it isn't, but I can write large portions of my
code which I move from one platform to another with little or no
changes.
