Is assembly language still used?
If yes then how do i get started?

Now a days embedded devs use both asm as well as C in single program, like some part of hardware code that is needed to be optimized for time critical processing for accurate result is written in asm & rest in C.Aadit KapoorIs assembly language still used?

I second you. Even though there are lot of compiler available but after all they all are converting them into asm language as microcontroller core itself is designed based on this instructions. All microcontroller core following them so C or any other language can not beat it if you are working on time critical execution.Abhishek RawalNow a days embedded devs use both asm as well as C in single program, like some part of hardware code that is needed to be optimized for time critical processing for accurate result is written in asm & rest in C.
(And in many other development too, which honestly I am not aware of)
In short, it is still used & will be used as long as hardware exists! (that means forever)
