@wolf480pl @argv_minus_one @puppygirlhornypost2 @pancake So basically architectures that can not effort to have support in LLVM because either the commercial interest by its vendors is too small or there is no more vendor.

So nothing you can build on in earnest todays... just historical interest.

@argv_minus_one @puppygirlhornypost2 @pancake @wolf480pl I keep hearing that gcc supports more targets than LLVM, and I do notmdoubt that. But can you name one such target that is still relevant outside of a historical context.

Anything that has vague community or commercial backing has a LLVM target by now.

@wolf480pl @argv_minus_one @puppygirlhornypost2 @pancake Wikipedia lists the Motorola 68000 as discontinued in 1996. I would firmly count that into the historical context. Wikipedia has nothing on C sky... does not look like a major player.

Are these seriously the two architectures we absolutely need gcc for?

@wolf480pl @argv_minus_one @pancake The question is how a project can stay relevant, when catering to the old guys only. You need an influx of young people, and they tend to not do C too much anymore.

@pancake To me this looks more like a community feud over the project direction than a statement about Rust. I feel *any* big change that effects several sub systems will run into exactly the same problem,
