I mean in a world where a 32-bit microcontroller with flash in the 1-2MB range and a few hundred KiB RAM can cost less than $2 why make things harder on yoursel

I mean in a world where a 32-bit microcontroller with flash in the 1-2MB range and a few hundred KiB RAM can cost less than $2 why make things harder on yourself :P If you're using a chip without the bells and whistles for precise timing reasons, then you're probably gonna program it in assembly too anyways
