I wonder if a Rust backend generating C code wouldn’t be a nice workaround for platforms without first tier Rust support. With all compile time assurances from the Rust front end, it’d be able to produce C at a superhuman level of memory safety.

Fascinating. I wonder why they didn’t make it a LLVM backend, but, then, I guess it’s important for the C code to be readable as well.
