no C backend unfortunately

  Anything that can target Wasm can target C. https://webassembly.github.io/wabt/doc/wasm2c.1.html https://webassembly.github.io/wabt/doc/wasm2c.1.html

    I thought of that solution, but the problem is that when you have 8bit microcontroller and all your operations from webassembly are translated to 32 bit operations then you gonna end up doing 8 bit math on 32 bit emulated math operations aligned back to 8 bit. :(

      You should see how it works in practice. Not try to discount your goals, but chasing 8 bits is anachronistic, an ESP32-C3 is a single core 160Mhz risc-v chip with 400KB of on chip ram for $1 qty 1. Rust can target AVR directly, https://www.avr-rust.com/ https://www.avr-rust.com/ Wasm runtimes also available for embedded platforms, https://github.com/wasm3/wasm3 https://github.com/wasm3/wasm3

        once it will get to 0.05$ - 0.10$ will stop chasing 8 bit :-) Right next to me have 130 boards with 8bit :-)

          Speaking from Timex 2068 experience point of view, I doubt C is much better than just using a proper macro assembler.

  under development actually. The language devs are planing to use the c backend for bootstraping the self compling zig compiler which is in works

    I think it was me asking for it like a year ago onzig github issuees :)
