That's correct. Likewise low level driver code on larger systems. (I've
been doing both since the early seventies.)

I agree. One can write code that's about 99% portable. So I write that
99% in C and the other 1% in assembly and spend the time I save doing
something fun. Life is too short to waste time fighting with
recalcitrant compilers.
