I always wondered/wanted to play with a language that comes between Assembly and C (in terms of power/control, granularity, and also ease of use):

* Be just like Asm in every way, but:

* Have standardized architecture-agnostic mnemonics that translate to CPU-specific ones: like something that stands for both MOV on Intel and LDR on ARM.

* Take care of common boilerplate like function call rituals, or the multiple instructions required for loading 64-bit numbers on ARM.

Basically a real language like the ones in "programming simulation" games.

Wouldn't that basically be very similar to, for example, LLVM IR?

I was gonna say, this sounds exactly like LLVM IR, except for the ease of use
