I don’t think that’s true. Doesn’t Rust only run on platforms that LLVM supports?

I'm wrong, but you're also incorrect. Turns out, that rust can in theory run anywhere you have a libc, but if the target isn't known to the compiler yet, it's on you to connect libc to the rust STD.

How can rust run somewhere that LLVM doesn't support?
