Abbreviation of assembly language.
"The programmer decided to write the critical routine in asm to optimize performance."
In plain English: Asm is short for assembly, which is a low-level programming language that computers use to run very basic instructions directly on their hardware chips.
"There is no such thing as asm, because that spelling does not form an English word; you likely meant something like ash (the remains of burned wood), ass (a donkey or foolish person), or perhaps the abbreviation for assembly language which isn't used in everyday speech."
