Does Rust support 16-bit architectures? I think I read recently that D doesn't on purpose.
But of course C and C++ do.
Found this comment, which makes it seem like support is intended but maybe not ready to use:

- steveklabnik 7y agoThere’s been ongoing work to support AVR, which as I understand is a 16 (or was it 8?) bit architecture. It hasn’t landed in tree yet due to codegen bugs in LLVM, last I checked.
- monocasa 7y agoIt's basically a 16 bit arch. 8 bit registers, but they can be paired pretty easily and uniformly across the ISA MSP430 is probably the best supported 16 bit arch for Rust.
