I found myself thinking “Maybe I could write this in Rust” for a Tigerbrew project, but then I remembered it doesn’t have a PowerPC target 😞

@edef Sorry, should have specified - I'm targeting PowerPC Darwin, which I believe is not possible.

@edef GCC is still officially supported (which is why I've focused my work on GCC). PPC-Darwin was once(?) in the LLVM tree. lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-

@edef GCC's much better in general at targeting obsolete architectures - for unsurprising reasons. I've also been poking at a potential project targeting SuperH, which is still supported in GCC - meaning it's possible to build a toolchain supporting the latest C and C++ standards, with better optimization than was available in compilers of its day.
