I think all this about compilers it is getting crazy and stupid. The need
for a super-powerfull x64bits machine with tons of RAM and HardDisk, just
to program a simple microcontroller, 8, 16 or 32 bits, with some bare
kilobytes of memory... That is one of the most inefficient things I've ever
seen.
