Ha yes I always thought this is how assembly should look. Although why not go further - instead of move a, b which is ambiguous about the move direction, why not just copy 99% of other programming languages: b = a.

Also it's a real disappointment that even new ISAs like RISC-V have the same "assembly must be unreadable" brain disease. auipc? Come on. You can't even claim that they want a strict 1:1 assembly:instruction language because they added a ton of pseudoinstructions. Even add can turn into add or addi.

Anyway although AI means you can easily make a tool like this, I think it also means there is not really any point to it anymore. Oh well.
