where is assembly language commonly used?

Question

or assembly language specialty.

Answer 1

mostly in small devices such as remotes, or garage door openers, etc. Even then there are C compilers for the microcontrollers that are used. Other than that, it is sometimes used to develop device drivers for computers, or where speed is a concern. Assembly is more efficient than writing code in another language.

Answer 2

mostly @ lower level hardware micro controllers. like older mobile phones, PDA's which have very less memory available and are supposed to perform only a specific set of tasks rather than be multipurpose or general
