Are you sure? I find ARB assembly to be suitable; GLSL should not be needed. A problem I have found with ARB assembly is that you cannot write a fraction with a slash (which is something I find I commonly will want), but I wrote a preprocessor to convert fraction with slash into decimal, so that is no longer a problem.

But, I think Checkout would be better than ARB assembly or GLSL, since Checkout is allegedly more closely to the way the GPU is working.

Yes, I looked into it back when I had a R500 card and was planning whether to support the earlier Radeons.
