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 I once did something not quite dissimilar with Forth and CGI scripts. I think this is fine! ;-D
Looks a bit like perlcgi.

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

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

@citizen428 Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should
