  Assembler
An assembler is a computer program for translating assembly language - essentially, a mnemonic representation of machine language - into object code.
Assemblers are far simpler to write than compilers for high-level languages, and have been available since the 1950s.
The term "Assembler" is also used in Nanotechnology to refer to a construction machine that manipulates and builds with individual atoms or molecules.

 HLA: The High Level Assembly Programming Language | Linux Journal
In HLA, I wanted to create a language with high level control structures and declarations that made it possible for someone familiar with an imperative language like Pascal or C/C++ to get their first HLA programming running in a matter of minutes (or, at worst, a matter of hours).
For those interested in learning more about HLA and the Art of Assembly Language programming, Yahoo Groups offers aoaprogramming, which, as the Web site states, is a "forum for those interested in learning and working with Randall Hyde's HLA assembler." At the time of this writing, aoaprogramming had over 1,089 members.
HLA is a mixture of Pascal, C/C++ and Assembly, but by and large it is a High Level Assembly programming language.

 High-level assembler - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
High-level assemblers are assembly language translators that incorporate features found in modern high-level programming languages into an assembler.
Some high-level assemblers are Borland's TASM, Microsoft's MASM, IBM's HLASM (for z/Architecture systems), and Randall Hyde's HLA.
High-level assemblers generally provide information hiding facilities (though their capabilities vary by assembler) and the ability to call functions and procedures using a high-level-like syntax (i.e., the assembler automatically emits code to push parameters on the stack rather than the programmer having to manually write the code to do this).

 HLA Language Reference and User Manual
HLA lets you work at the level you are most comfortable with and at the level that is most appropriate for the task at hand.
Because high level assemblers are clearly different that traditional assemblers, one might question whether a high level assembly language is truly an assembly language and whether translators for high level assembly languages can be properly called an assembler.
HLA lets students write meaningful programs within about a week of it's introduction (e.g., the first assignment I give in a typical quarter is to write an "addition table" program that computes the outer product [addition table] of the two vectors 0..15 and 0..15, printing the table formatted nicely).

 High Level Assembly - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
High Level Assembler (HLA) is an assembly language developed by Randall Hyde which can use high-level language constructs to aid x86 assembly programmer beginners and advanced assembly developers alike.
HLA supports all the same low-level machine instructions as other x86 assemblers and, indeed, HLA's high-level control structures are based on the ones found in MASM and TASM (whose HLL-like features predated the arrival of HLA by several years).
HLA's compile-time language allows programmers to extend the HLA language with ease, even creating their own little Domain Specific Language to help them easily solve common programming problems.

Case in point is my ISPF to 3270 datastream assembler program that didn't really need to be written in assembler (but then again, REXX wasn't available back then).
An architectural level set occurs when the operating system folks draw a "line in the sand" saying their system will not run on any machine that does not have features "x, y, and z".

 Softpanorama: Assembler is not for Dummies
Assembler probably should not be the first language, the first language should be something simple like old good Basic or may be JavaScript (the ability to generate HTML is pretty exiting for an introductory programming course), but it probably should be the second language.
The latter is especially important for assembler programmers as Donald Knuth is one of few computer scientists who was able to see thru "object-oriented programming" smog and defend the value of the assembler language both for computer science education and for real and complex programming projects.
MASM is capable of writing many normal high level constructions like structures, unions, pointers and high level style procedures that have both size of parameter checking and parameter count checking but the difference again is that it is powerful enough to do this where many of the others are not.

 Disassemblers :: Programming : Gourt
A dissasembler differs from a decompiler, which targets a high level language rather than assembly language.
Disassembly, the output of a disassembler, is often formatted for human-readability rather than suitability for input to an assembler, making it principly a reverse-engineering tool.

 ARDC - ASSEMBLER DOC
Usually the assembler is 'hardware dependent,' that is, each type of computer has a different assembler.
Assembler language coding allows the most flexibility in programming and the most control over the object program.
Well-written assembler language coding is usually faster and more efficient than equivalent higher-level coding and generally requires less storage in which to execute.

 No wars
I wouldn't suggest you (sorry, Randall!) HLA as well because it is High Level which (by definition IMHO) has *nothing* to do with low-level things like assembler.
These high-level assemblers compile all the same instructions as other x86 assemblers, they just happen to have additional features that you may choose to ignore if you don't want to use them.
Ultimately, though, the advantage of a high-level assembler is that the *programmer* gets to make the choice of how they want to approach the problem.

 Art of Assembly Language Programming and HLA by Randall Hyde
Some people seem to be confused by the phrase "High Level Assembler." They seem to think that if you learn assembly language programming with HLA you're not really learning "real assembly language." Nothing could be farther from the truth.
The HLA (High Level Assembly) language was developed as a tool to help teach assembly language programming and machine organization to University students at the University of California, Riverside.
While it is true that HLA has lots of code available (e.g., the HLA Standard Library) that makes assembly programming easy, perhaps at the expense of effiency, HLA does allow you to write pure assembly code and you can exercise complete control over the code that HLA emits.

 Assembler
In the latter years of the 1970's I was working for a bank and was one of those programmers that made the auditors cringe since I was perfectly comfortable patching the generated load module to make a simple change in a program rather than making a source change and recompiling.
Even more so than other technical books, Assembler text books do not stay in print long and there are few people writing new ones.
Most of the Assembler texts I hold on my shelves are considered antiques and are long out-of-print.
