One of the comments to that post had Assembly as the hardest language to learn which is funny because it's really pretty easy. It's daunting at first but like high school biology, in order to succeed at assembly programming you need to do a lot of memorization. Memorization of mnemonics, memorization of registers, memorization of calling conventions, etc. Once you've got the basics out of the way it becomes easy to stitch together code. In fact, once you get past the memorization (or find yourself a reference manual), it boils down a ton of simple operations. It's much simpler than all the other languages listed; there are no monads, no generics/templates, no Koenig lookup.
