The problem with assembly is that it is almost impossible to optimize it as a human. Way back in the day instruction sets were written for humans but these days it is highly unlikely that you will be able to write assembly that can outperform a compiler. The reason primary has to do with pipelining and caching since modern CPUs are extremely complex.
That’s btw. also a good argument for Rust. Due to the strictness of the language the compiler os able to do optimizations that just aren’t possible (safely) in C or C++
I wouldn’t go that far
