Assembly is a machine language not a programming language.

As I expected, this is more of an opinion question than anything else. If one views a language as a way to encode meaning, then they are all languages. Even machine code is a language used to encode either microdcode or processor operations.

I've used all the listed languages over the past 20 years, except for COBOL. I chose that one because only the business majors took it back in college.

For the past five years or so I've been working with Labview. It's a graphical language.

Then how did I get a job writing it, complete with all the pushes and pops? What's the symantic difference between programing and machine languages?
