Does the 'g' in fasmg mean generic?

yes
fasmg is a generic assembler that does not "by itself " know any instruction set but has a powerful macro language that can be used to implement instruction sets for any processor, some instruction sets can be seen here https://board.flatassembler.net/topic.php?t=19389 . |

With ARM64 fast encroaching on the x86/64 world, this meaning (generic) is important, and reflects the purpose/milieu of the language.

Just to harp on the generic aspect, the bytecode block file assembler for my hobby VM is fasmg with some custom include files. Host applications can extend the assembler with definitions for their own custom opcodes by having their own include files as well. It ended up being a lot of bang for the buck.
