Quoth the spec:

"The expression assert(0) is a special case; it signifies that it is
unreachable code. Either AssertError is thrown at runtime if it is reachable,
or the execution is halted (on the x86 processor, a HLT instruction can be used
to halt execution). The optimization and code generation phases of compilation
may assume that it is unreachable code."

It's working as designed.
