The notion that assembly language is somehow difficult is just silly exceptionalism. It's a lot of work to do complex things, that's for sure, but it isn't in any way hard to understand. There will be a reference guide for your processor which will be exact and succinct. It's the easiest language there is to learn. It's hardly even a language. Even if modern processors have layers of abstraction to them, you still get to get to program a processor directly. Don't be surprised if you also get a much better understanding of how some common data structures work when you have to code them yourself. I remember being baffled by pointers but after coding assembly a few times it suddenly seemed completely natural. It was a few years ago though.
