#161629 - Superloops are a simple enough concept.
Responding to: ???'s previous message
And they work in many applications. They also are a step in the evolution of operating systems, and someone who works with an RTOS and doesn't even know the concept of a superloop is missing a very criticial puzzle piece.

Also, RTOSes also tend to fatten ISRs with their own entry/exit code and notification functions. Even worse, they usually have their own ISR preambles that also increase ISR _latency_.

Summary: Try a superloop first unless your application requires the features of an RTOS (e.g. task priorities, preemption, etc).
