You sound as if you haven't yet picked up on the fact that assembler is a mnemonic representation of the machine's natural language. It isn't an extension to C (or anything else), it's what C produces as an end product. All executable programs wind up as machine language at run-time. It hasn't turned out to be a small-time thang.
