Make a high usefull software, such nnedi3, Photoshop or any object oriented program, is possible?
Comparing with, for example, a software made with C++ and same software, made with Assembly, which is more fast?

I assume the question is something like "Is it possible to write any software in Assembly language?". The answer is yes.
Practically, writing a monster like Photoshop in ASM would be insane, considering the man hours required.

Comparing with, for example, a software made with C++ and same software, made with Assembly, which is more fast?If properly implemented, ASM is usually faster, particularly with new instructions sets. In some rare cases like a simple loop with a couple of conditions, a modern C/C++ compiler can produce machine code that is just as fast.
