Answer 1

Code in assembler language are really fast with small footprint, but code written in assembler language are not reusable code. This reusibility feature for code are most important feature for software design. For example, if you have assembler project code for x86 processor, it can be use only for x86 processor, not for ARM processor. But if you have project C/C++ code for x86 processor, you can use this code for ARM processor. So, it is better to avoid assembler for software development.
