Please I don't want to flame this thread or anything like that, 
but this isn't a lack of modesty or a little odd?

The phrase: "Who never wrote anything in ASM will not make a 
firt-rate program" is a bit odd, because for me it's like say: "A 
programmer who never programs on punched cards will never going 
to write a first-rate program".

Finally, what I mean is:

Saying that will bring something good for the community? Or 
should a new programmer would stop his D programming studies and 
start with Assembly.
