Comment on Ask HN: What is hand-coded assembly language used for these days?

Comments

I've re-written many perl things in C to speed up processing time - for me, it's better than buying more/newer hardware. Also, for smallish scripts that I invoke millions of times or a small perl script that does regexps, I can rewrite those in C to boost speed as well. I don't do any ASM code anymore, but C is a really good optimization step for me and my projects.
