Assembler preferences.

Two questions:
- what's everyone using these days?
- on large productions, do groups tend to enforce a single assembler for the entire project, or is the code base a bit heterogenous?

I'd like to keep this discussion purely focussed on assemblers; please leave code generators, loader toolchains etc for that other thread.


(as for me, I'm still using xa65 for most projects)

Acme since it's fast and easy to use...

For more complex stuff I'm looking into CA65 environment.

Dreamass, but since that one doesn't seem to be actively maintained anymore, I'm looking into 64tass.

I agree with HCL here: we've had a similar thread recently on development environments, just ignore the text editors, Makefile's and scripts and you're left with a huge list of assemblers people tend to use ;)

Assembler? I thought everyone entered the code as DATA statements? (cue Four Yorkshiremen...)

ACME? Thought that was this Company in Loony Tunes which produces the 10T weights which keeps dropping on Wild'e Coyote's head?

For me it's Kickassembler and also the rest of the Group (although only JAS has fiddled some With it... some years ago.....).......

Damn!

Since DATA didn't make it onto the list, here's another vote for ca65.

KickAssembler. We use several different assemblers in our demos.
