Not the exact description I would give assembler. However, I would agree that it can be very elegant and efficient.
Although, not all assembly code is like that. Further, you depend on the device it written for to still be around.
However, I don't see a problem with assembly so that fact they are just converting to just convert it. Seems a bit frivolous. If they are having trouble hiring assembler programmers that's kinda a different issue.
However, one nice thing is that any can program in assembler and well tend be good programmers. They know what they are doing. So by switching languages they open themselves up to worse programmers.
However, Java why? If they are coding in assembly wouldn't C make more sense?
