What's the best/coolest asm compiler ?

I've not used GoAsm, but GoLink with Nasm (no need for import libraries). And now I've switched to Fasm - it has all that Nasm and more, it needs no linker and implibs, has powerful preprocessor, all options are contained in source file, Fasm is opensource and self-compilable, it is still developped, it runs under dos/windows/Linux/BeOS/MenuetOS, it has nice gui environments, and lastly - its author is from my country

I don't know about the others, but Tasm has one really cool feature..... It supports Object Oriented programming in assembly... Using some complex declarations, you can do pretty much everything which is needed in OO: classes, inheritance... Funny thing, but i do not advise to use it, except if you need to interface with OOP language...

The useful part however is that it lets you write a single method from your class in assembly, so that you can get top performance without sacrificing your nice OO design...

Hi,
I need some suggestions.
In fact,I know Masm but not that much.
I want to study the best assembeler which can satisfy me in any case.
I have encountered HLA .
Here is the homepage:

h**p://webster.cs.ucr.edu/AsmTools/HLA/index.html

I want to know what you think about it.
Is it bewtter than others?
Does any body have any exprience about it?
Does it have all the functionality that others have?

Please shade some light.
Best Regards,

Android.

I use TASM for many years.

Can anybody explain, which different exist between TASM 5.0 and MASM 6.0?

It is only a philosophical question?

I use masm most of the time and i'm very satisifed ...
... as there are a lot of possibilites, you should check your own
requirements and find the one, that meets those requirements best.
If you are starting with assembler, it's more a matter of a good book
than the tool ...
