Yes. Let's all write IR instead of assembly. Let's encourage others to do the same, making Assembly even more of an ivory tower (or, more accurately, a grimy sub-basement) than it already is, further discouraging newcomers from learning it, thus keeping them from properly understanding the machines they program on. Eventually, nobody will even understand any of these machines.

Use whatever you want in production, I don't care. But don't discourage people from learning assembly. It's a worthwhile task.
