Advantages of a Patcher and Preprocessor over OOP

[Otto]

I am interested in why the idea of patching and the preprocessor does not attract interest here, even though the benefits are clearly evident.
This is especially true for web development and collaboration with ChatGPT.

Advantages of a Patcher and Preprocessor over OOP

Performance and Efficiency:No Runtime Overhead: Preprocessors work before runtime and cause no additional runtime overhead, improving performance.

Optimization Opportunities: Enable specific optimizations that would not be possible during runtime.

Flexibility and Customizability:Dynamic Code Generation: Generate code dynamically based on conditions or configurations, ideal for different versions or customizations.

Direct Control: Provide developers with high control over the build process and code structure.

Improved Debugging Capabilities:Original Source Code: Debugging and troubleshooting occur in the original source code, not the generated code, increasing traceability.

Easy Integration and Compatibility:No Major Refactoring: Integrate into existing projects without complete rewriting in OOP, saving time and reducing errors.

Compatibility with Procedural Code: Developers can maintain their usual workflows while benefiting from the advantages of your tool.

Faster Development Cycles:Automated Tasks: Automate recurring tasks like inserting headers or managing dependencies, speeding up the development process.

Templates and Macros: Simplify and speed up code creation by automating recurring patterns and structures.

Cost Efficiency:Lower Learning Curve: Developers do not need to delve into the complexity of OOP, ideal for small teams or projects with limited budgets.

Reduced Training Effort: Less training and education required, saving costs.

Simplified Variable and Parameter Management:Less Variable Passing: By dividing the code into logical units, the need to pass variables and parameters back and forth is often eliminated, making the code clearer and easier to maintain.
