Which assembly? Assembly with macros? Assembly with synthetic instructions?
If you use
mov %i0, %l0
instead of
or %g0, %i0, %l0
Then that isn't "the lowest level you can target."

I was thinking of x86 when I wrote that, also I am not sure macros count as an abstraction level since they are just preprocessors?
What I meant to say is that since there is no way to directly write microcode, assembly is the lowest level software can target.
