I don't mean to bash on you or anything but do you honestly think it is
harder to read C than it is to read assembly? Looking back at my assembly
code I think it is a lot easier to read C.

Generally, C is easier than ASM, but C programs may be much more cryptic
than ASM programs, e.g. C programs sometimes may be absolutely
ununderstandable. It is not hard to write such programs, but it is
very hard to read and understand them. That's why C is sometimes
called "write-only language".
