gave birth to the assembler.

The assembler gave birth to the compiler.  Now there are ten
thousand languages.

Each language has its purpose, however humble.  Each
language expresses the Yin and Yang of software.  Each
language has its place within the Tao.

But do not program in COBOL if you can avoid it.
