Yeah it is... ASM is code used to program CPU's and circuitry, C++/C are programming languages that are decoded into machine code [MSIL or CIL as it's now known] and then processed by the CPU.
I have to learn ASM at the moment for college and I can honestly say I don't think i'll ever need or use it. Give me C++ anyday over ASM.
