I read that as “directly, without a compiler”, in which case it’s close to fair, although I would have still put it ahead of COBOL because sometimes it’s necessary.
“Obsolete Lang” is more of a looks category, and back then most programming languages were not much dissimilar from it. Basically Assembly had to stay unstructured due to how CPUs work, while the industry moved on.
And I bet this is based in opinion and not any sort of scientific understanding because you put assembly as an obsolete language…
