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.
I just came across this project recently https://github.com/AeneasVerif/eurydice/ from Microsoft Azure Research (referenced here https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/blog/rewriting-symc...)
Title I see: "CPython may go Rusty, but older platforms risk getting iced out"
