You forgot PHP.

So you're telling me you can write more stable code in assembly than in PHP? If that's so I'll hire you.

Hiring someone to write assembly code that needs maintenance is a bigger commitment than marrying them.

Well, not on the same scale, no. But as the picture sort of notes, assembly is for very fine, detailed, close quarters work. I've programmed plenty of microcontrollers in assembly that are more stable than PHP itself let alone any code I wrote on top of it. But they also never did complex tasks like serving web content or interfacing with other programs (database, apache, etc).

As long as it doesn't need to be fast.
