There are a number of programming languages, that have been squeezed, twisted and compressed such, that they run on an 8-bit MOS 6502 processor. But can you imagine something more 'modern' like Rust?

Naahhh. 🤔

Believe it or not, it is possible. And the process to get Rust code up and running on a 6502 seems to be much more sleek, that anticipated.

Dr. Gergő Érdi gave it a spin. After the release of the llvm-mos backend and therefore the ability to make use of Rust to create machine code for the 6502, he decided to dust off a slightly older project of his - a Rust based CHIP-8 implementation for an AVR.

Join him on his journey and enjoy the HN find of the week. Seems we’re opening up whole new possibilities with llvm-mos. Exciting times!
