What I REALLY want to do is avoid introducing an abstraction layer (even mine!) on 8-bit machines, because they don't have the computing power and resources to handle it; at the same time, I would like to avoid writing a program for each platform, also because I would be forced to test all versions.

Let's say I'm aiming for a “WORA without framework”.

To do this, you need to set rules and stakes.

IT IS NOT POSSIBLE:

• build a framework (violates the “no framework” assumption);
• write specific code for a machine (violates the “WORA”);
• adopt other dev-kits (violates the “WORA” and the “without framework”);
• convert the data to format at the time of compilation (violates “WORA”)¹⁾;

IT IS POSSIBLE:

• exploit the analogies (isomorphisms) between computers;
• generalize the code (writing functions);
• optimize this code;
• collect it in a library (if the linker supports it);
• optimize the binary (with scripts);
• outsource data management (with scripts);
• reduce data occupation, modifying its organization;

This is the MIDRES project (and library).
