A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

Perhaps this an LLVM question; but what's the factor that limits Kotlin/Native to its list of supported targets?  For example; there is an official <https://github.com/espressif/llvm-project|LLVM 'Back-end' for the popular Espresiff ESP8266 chips>, a non-ARM platform.

My (maybe false) assumption is that LLVM's Intermediate Representation (IR) provides a generalised mechanism for marrying any language parsing front-end with any platform-specific-binary generating back-end.

So if Kotlin/Native provides a compliant LLVM front-end (does it?) then what's missing to allow us to compile Kotlin for ESP8266 chips?

Could it be this _is_ theoretically possible today, just not 'supported'?
