    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.
    (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)

    Ironically, this question is being asked since 2009. 😁
    And still we use 'still'.

    The questions that could follow are - Why assembly language is still needed if we have high level languages offering sophisticated tools?
    OR
    How relevant or useful is it to learn Assembly programming language in the current era?

    The simple answer is - As programmers, any computer science enthusiast should definitely know how things work underneath the hood.

    Off topic: For a considerable length of time in my life; I believed it's something used by 'politicians'. ☕

    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.

    Now people don't want to learn much about assembly language that is why C is getting more popularity.
