- you have no interest in maintaining your code
- your code will never be maintained by someone else
- you know your C preprocessor better than you know your C compiler
- your favorite language isn't available for this particular target
- you don't mind object level debugging
- your idea of a fun time is to spend a few hours per day memorizing code
- you really are smarter than everybody else
