  "I don't think it addresses one of the most important aspect of assembly, though, which is it's strict, functional/feature inferiority to modern languages." I think that's addressed in the, "No one really uses it anymore" part. "Shakespearean English is just about as functional of a language as modern English (ignoring the vocabulary for things that didn't exist back then), which can't be said about assembly." I would disagree. Arguably, the main function, if not the only function of English, or any other human language, is to express ideas. Shakespearean English being not commonly used, and many of the colloquialisms and terms used not being in use anymore would make that function more difficult. As an example, I'd use the "Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?" line. To most people, that would be Juliet asking where Romeo was, but it's not. It's her asking why Romeo had to be who he was, which was a Montague, the rival/enemy of her family.
