I have an xmos board(xcore architecture), although llvm has a backend for it, it is missing debugging support for timing analysis(XTA) and also outdated so potentially missing on various size optimizations.
Even ignoring that, because llvm instruction set mismatch between versions, i can't feed the rust generated IR to their firmware generating tool.
If you see their language xC(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XC_(programming_language), it extends C with various pointer types(restricted, movable, alias) for memory safety. Rust definitely is a good fit for this kind of development with borrow checker, traits etc.
