Perhaps not everyone knows what AUTOSAR is. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/AUTOSAR. Think: automotive brake controllers, that type of shit. It is safety critical.

My point isn't that the rules apply universally, it's that something found to be a good practice in a safety critical industry is flagrantly discarded in another, without good reason. Literal state machines in the preprocessor. Metaprogramming in C. But because it is generated code, it is "ok."
