For what it’s worth the GCC backend for rustc is making progress and rustc more generally supports a lot of embedded stuff already

It does, and rustc nostd already supports a lot of places cpython can't run, but the other way around is just non existent. Rustc can't and will likely never support ti dsps because they own the compiler and a long is 48bits. Dreamcast and other things with weird data sizes also are out.

How’s that GCC backend coming along? I could look it up, but I bet others would like to hear about it too.
