   Depends on the person - the urge to tinker will probably always drive   
   *some* folks to get hands-on with the bare metal. The retrogaming home-   
   brew community f'rinstance has a number of young or not-so-old folks   
   playing around with systems where assembly language is a practical   
   choice, if not the *only* choice.   
      
   (Though I have seen at least one homebrew NES game where some eccentric   
   whippersnapper decided it'd be easier to get a 6502 LISP running and   
   write it in that!)
