Instruction List (IL) on PLC & other microcontrollers is widely used in automatic controls, My engneering course had some odd classes of PLC assembly-like programming (and some 8086 and useless PXA assembly, a 1st gen. PocketPC processor, aswell) Anyway, writing machine code from scratch might still be readable, looking at compiler-generated code could be really complicated, as lots of redundant information is added. I remember dealing with x86 assembly only when.. ermm.., 'bypassing' some software restrictons. It's amazing how much money a single JMP instruction, surgically replaced in an executable file, can save you :)
