Is it true that ASM is what is used to program microwaves and stuff like that?

ASM = Assembly, Assembly is a very low level programming language, like one step up from machine code, it works with macros that represent the CPU instructions, so nearly 100% of electronics are programed in Assembly, unless it has built in software more complicated (like Windows or Linux on a Machine) a Microwave, Calculator, etc are all written in some form of ASM, for example, a TI-85, 83, 86, and 89, have a ROM written in Z-80 Assembly. so Assembly is a lowlevel language that directly represents the exact CPU Calls. So any Device that has the software built into the Chip or Rom itself is going to be written in ASM, no big surprise about that.

So do you program PICs with ASM then? Or is it just EEPROM?
