No, then the question becomes "which language allows you to quickly 
write very many lines of code which then have to be deleted".

Of course, writing those lines manually would be silly if you could 
automate the process.  After all, the lines of code aren't required, so 
they don't really have to do anything, do they?

So naturally Assembly would be the proper way to get maximum performance 
out of your automatic code writing program.

Therefore Assembly is clearly the fastest development language.
