Since I learned assembly language way before anything else Perl is the
more natural language for me.  OO tends to appeal to those who can't see
the machine.

On one team I worked with, the language was assembler (MASM).  The project had
some bigassed modules!

I showed the manager/programmer a book I'd bought on video processing. It
showed sample assembler code using C function-calling conventions (push bp; mov
bp,sp; add stack size to bp; run code; pop bp IIRC). He called the code
"obtuse".  :-D
