"Slightly less than half of the AVR backend has been merged in at this point. It is still missing a number large parts which cause it to be unusable, but is well on the road to being completely merged and workable."

It would be awesome to be able to use LLVM to cross-compile. Perhaps rust could be made to easily run on a µc at that point!

That's being worked on: https://github.com/avr-rust/rust

Note that it's mainly the same developer behind the LLVM support as well: https://github.com/avr-llvm/llvm


There's a C/C++ frontend/variant of clang that's useful for cross-compiling: ellcc [1].
