Both are LLVM languages. I don’t think every OpenWrt target is supported by LLVM.

I’m interested to write an implementation. However:
1) I haven’t looked at the proposal thoroughly
2) I assume that the lowest common denominator for OpenWrt is C. It would be nice to write in e.g. rust but as before there’s the LLVM thing to be taken into account, or the GCC rust backend.
