Welcome, it really depends on what you want to achieve. Historically assembler was in the majority of cases faster than interpreted languages, however with modern optimising compilers for most use cases there's a lot to be said for high level languages, in so much as portability and lower barrier for entry, time it take tho throw something together. Embedded systems, microcontrollers and alike are targets for assembler use, and of course there are other specific use cases. The wiki article elaborates on this and other somewhat niche use cases. One of the previous responses touches on assembly and perl. What are your interests? Often knowing this can help advise further.
