What SoC are you using out of curiosity?

ARM cortex, riscv and espresif all seem like they have first class support. Unless you are talking about peripherals in which case, why would you expect the language to write/maintain low level drivers?

The hurdles to replace it in micros might be worth it depending on the team size and requirements. Personally, I wouldn't expect it to ever replace existing code bases, but could be a reasonable choice for greenfield designs.

In my case, wireless SoC chips (BT, BLE, DECT). Current generation are ARM M0 cores, but 16-bit RISC/CR16 architectures are widespread still. Not expecting language to provide platform support, but SoC providers don't either. They provide C frameworks only, if anything.
