On: The Art of Assembly Language Programming (1996)

TI used to have an Assembly for a DSP that was like C written in SSA form.

No idea how it was called.

Fully agree with GAS syntax being a pain.

Are you sure it was TI? The Blackfin DSPs made by Analog Devices are known for using an infix assembly syntax in the official documentation, although it might be a stretch to tie it to C specifically.

As far as I can remember yes, it was an article in Dr Dobbs Journal back in the day.

Basically imagine a C subset where variables are the registers, mov is = , expressions are Dest = Reg1 op Reg2 and so forth.

I can gladly be corrected if it was another vendor.
