In 2015, I think referring to it as a programming language is not precisely accurate. I guess machine code should be referred to as a programming language according to you guys as well. To each his own, I personally won't be hearing anyone in my life or myself refer to ASM as a "programming language."

If you bring some guys in to work with ASM on a project, 9 times out of 10 they aren't doing the real programming of the project. They are there for a very narrow scope of work to help the actual programmer, but can it be said that the ASM temps are programming? I guess...I just happen to call it tech support.

I won't give ASM any acknowledgement as a programming language. Its a language, and that's it.
