Rust Platform Support
Discussions center on Rust's compatibility with various architectures and platforms, highlighting limitations due to its LLVM dependency, challenges with cross-compilation, and anticipation for GCC backend support to match C's reach, including embedded and exotic systems.

Yes, but not llvm support. Which makes rust a no go.
Will it be possible until Rust gets full GCC support, with all its platforms?
Rust so far does not cover all architectures that C can reach. When the GCC implementation is ready, it might change, but not yet.
How can rust run somewhere that LLVM doesn't support?
How is Rust support for the platform?
Unfortunately Rust uses an LLVM fork IIRC, so using it is non-trivial.
That would also help use Rust in platforms that only have a C compiler.
What's stopping Rust from being used in embedded?
Rust runtime is partially implemented in a C++ toolchain, should we use the same arguement then?
Wait until you find out that Rust uses llvm.
