Another far-fetched option is to compile CPython to WebAssembly+WASI |
| 21 |
[1] (even if CPython itself will require Rust in future), and run it |
| 22 |
on the non-Rust-supported architecture via an interpreter [2]. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
If this works at all, bootstrap will probably be not trivial. And such |
| 25 |
version of interpreted python may need to be added to PYTHON_TARGETS |
| 26 |
to enable testing of this on more usual architectures like amd64. |
