Rust compiles to LLVM IR. I'm pretty surprised that building this transpiler was considered a better use of time than writing an LLVM backend for whatever "weird embedded target" might need this.

This would cover many different weird embedded targets, and a lot of those targets can be an utter pain to target with a compiler.
