CreativeASM
CreativeASM is a esolang made by Mihai Popa. It's the succesor of CreativeScript. It's a high-level assembly-like language. It assembles (transpiles) to Batch, not to machine code.
Syntax
Syntax is borrowed from x86, M68K and ARM assembly, but it's modified to be easy to learn and program.
Registers
In early versions, there are 8 or 12 registers, but now is 16. The registers can be of any size, up to "unlimited", not in x86 assembly, which is 32 bits. More formally, these are variables.
Difference between versions
In early versions, the language is implemented. Now, the language is compiled (assembled/transpiled) to Batch.
Note
There are exactly 37 instructions! WOW!
