Isn't assembly quite hard to program in or deal with?

Having programmed in 8 bit assemply long ago...Assembly isn't that hard...It just requires that you know individual registers for EVERY item you use in your program, -I.E., all the video registers, all the sound card registers, etc...
With assembly you actually place the values there versus C++ which will manage all that for you...It is much more involved, but if you know they system extremely well, you can actually do more with it. Although with todays hardware I personally wouldn't get back involved with it...I don't have that kind of time to invest...

Thank you.

However no one mentioned anything about Basic?

I continue to wonder about why no one posted about basic.

I understand the positives listed for C++ but no one listed any negatives.

I now see that there are some negatives for using basic but what are the positives.

Thank you.

There are no positives, Basic is much to slow to do anything intensively usefull.
Basic is the highest high level language and therefore the slowest...where as C++ and assembly are low level and therefore the fastest, other than programming in pure binaray which is NOT recomended...
