Hello,

unfortunately, crazy proprietary microcontrollers do tend to have
sub-standard compiler support ;-)

Anyway, if one worries about the performance cost of constants inlined
at compile time versus constants inlined by the JIT, then using a
language as high-level as Racket may be a mistake.

Personally, I think it is a bigger mistake not to use a high-level
language and to worry about those things in the first place, especially
before one is profiling a complete program for performance -- but that
may be biased from a person who usually doesn't have to solve real-time
critical performance problems ;-)

Ciao,
Thomas
