I second the call to use C. GCC is also a C++ compiler so you could even use C++ if you wanted to. You just have to be careful how you use it in order to obtain speed. Assembler should only be used to optimize routines when absolutely necessary. That's done after you use a profiler to find the bottlenecks in the program. In some cases C code is as fast as assembly (depending on the compiler), and in others it's pretty close.
