You should make friends with Steve Gibson (https://www.grc.com/). He writes all his code is assembly. :-)

Don't worry, I personally know plenty of devs whose favourites are assembly, C, C++, Pascal, Perl... even BASIC, Fortran, COBOL or Forth!

And surprisingly enough, among them, even the old farts aren't so old.

Bah, as someone who until recently had C++ as favorite language (now Rust), I'd say C++ doesn't belong on that list!

But so say probably all those people too, about "their" language. ;-)
