well I have been asked this several times in all seriosness
assembler... as a kid i did some assembler on the Commodore c64 CPU and its co-processor (the floppy disk drive)
I worked with CNC and controllers (Digital PDP11 architecture and PC AT) in 90-th. It was really great...
Then was databases, Oracle, ERP, bla-bla-bla

assembler was a lot but certainly not great IMO. As a human I very much prefer the abstraction levels offered by more modern languages, instead of hacking around with registers and stuff.I worked with CNC and controllers (Digital PDP11 architecture and PC AT) in 90-th. It was really great...

But back then we just did not have the processing power required for these abstractions so assembler was the only option for anything involving even slightest number crunching.
In some conditions assembler was more effective in terms of algorithms.
When programming binary logic for large machine, switch the head to a "computer mode' is very useful
But i had successful experience of programming the games in assembler simply for programming experience and for testing of some custom libraries for work.
