Not an architecture, an assembler.

• mbell 14y ago
  Fair enough, my underlying point is that `assembly` isn't a language, it's a family of languages which have a set of characteristics which are tied very tightly to the instruction set used (often called an architecture). Comments would be a characteristic of the compiler, which you may call an 'assembler' if you wish, however an assembler is not a language.

    An assembler is a utility with its own dialect regardless of target hardware.
