I wish there was a language "between" assembly and C: basically assembly with some quality-of-life improvements. Shortcuts to reduce redundant chores (like those multiple instructions to load one 64-bit number into an ARM register) but minimal "magic" or unintended consequences as in C. Things like maybe a function call syntax like: CALL someFunc(R1: thingForRegister1, @R7: pushR7ThenPopOnReturn, R42: [memoryAddressForR42]) and the function might be defined as: someFunc(R1 as localNameForR1, R7 as oneMoreThing, R42? as optionalArgument) and so on. (but anyone could come up with better ideas than me)
