It is certainly not impossible. I think it's just presented as a bit more trivial than it is. You can generate C, but is it easy to generate good C? That's what I was trying to get at with the LLVM comments. Rust relies a lot on a good optimizer; a straightforward transformation might be significantly slower.

Agreed. I did not mean to minimize the effort involved.
