assembly vs c language

which language is best assembly or c language for micro controller programing, if c is best, why microchip is still standing with assembly language. whether assembly language is convenient language for writing ARM 7, ARM 9 and while going for high end processors.

  • in the early '90s everything was assembler
    then non time critical routines started being written in C (the micros of the day ware pretty slow)
    as the faster versions came around in the early '00s more and more was written in C
    today a typical product will be all C (except the startup code automatically provided by the compiler) of my last 10 projecs only one or two have included an assembler routine besides the bootloader startup.

    HOWEVER Ignoring assembler can be severely deterimental to your C debugging skills.
