There's this misconception that Assembly language is old and obsolete, and there is nothing further from the truth, and I consider it the ever-present programming language. Sometimes, when you do the performance profiling of your software, you can find bottlenecks for which your programming language could be the issue. I'm particularly a fan of the ctypes Python library, libffi and similar. Android NDK is a brilliant piece of SDK to get closer to the metal in terms of performance. Assembly language is not old; it just evolves with micro-architecture.
