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 effectively writes a backend for all the weird targets at once, since pretty much everything out there has c compiler support
