Since when do a programmer have to deal with an instructionset? Welcome to 2003 where 5th generation languages are a fact (not that they are useful but still). Noone writes assembler these days, not while programming a PC, Mac or Sun. It is C, C++ Objective C, Java, Native Java and it compiles with GCC...
Nice comments greffov. But allow me not to agree with you on the low level langauges usage. C and Assembler are still the most wanted langauges for drivers. You cannot just build a GUI with a high level language liek VC++ or else. You need something for the foundations. C (pure ANSI C) and Assembler are still mighty. And many people use them (trust me I'm sure about this)
