I don't think so, modern high level languages tend to be linked to huge runtimes that are usually load entirely in memory. Assembly programs don't.

  If you're not linking to those runtimes and system libraries you're reimplementing them. The functionality has to come from somewhere.

    That's what assembly programmers do, they re-use code. They just don't need to ship huge runtimes to be then loaded into memory.
