@citizen428 I once did something not quite dissimilar with Forth and CGI scripts. I think this is fine! ;-D

@citizen428 seems perfectly sensible to me. C pre processor is fast and well-understood.

@citizen428 I mean, this is actually not *that* far off from what lispers do when generating sites in lisp -

@citizen428 some slight modifications, and you can use cpp -E + that to make a static site generator using the preprocessor.

@citizen428 Looks more sensible than generating programs with it.

@citizen428 reminds me of the horrors me and @friz64 were up to, also serving an entire web page from an ESP32 as one big string iirc, base64 encoded images and all.

@citizen428 That's called GNU M4.

@citizen428
Macros are a really bad idea that should never be used in C. They are unfortunately needed in Assembler, but assembler, other than to boot strap a compiler is not needed for the last 30 years. Not even on microcontrollers (see Forth and JAL). -

@citizen428 Oh great, doxygen patch coming in 3 .. 2 .. 1 ..

Looks a bit like perlcgi.

@leyrer @citizen428 I would say finally that the C pre-processor is nearing the realm of the mighty lisp macro systems.

@citizen428 I did a somewhat similar thing in AtomVM on a microcontroller. Saves lots of memory!

@tea @citizen428 @friz64 others do the same using ConfigMaps ... 🫢
