-- many built-in functions such as ``sin``, ``cos``, ``rnd``, ``abs``, ``min``, ``max``, ``sqrt``, ``msb``, ``rol``, ``ror``, ``swap``, ``memset``, ``memcopy``, ``sort`` and ``reverse``

 - convenience abstractions for low level aspects such as ZeroPage handling, program startup, explicit memory addresses
 - fast execution speed due to compilation to native assembly code
 - inline assembly allows you to have full control when every cycle or byte matters
