You might be surprised at how straight-forward it is to understand. If you have a decent understanding of how memory, addresses, and code flow works you should be able to understand assembly.
You wouldn't likely ever write asm code, though there are several IR (intermediate representation) levels that are around now. In compilers we mainly work at the IR level now for the low-level stuff. Sure, somebody has to emit actual machine code at some point, but I've never felt the need to go that low, and I actually work on a compiler.
