+# Backends
+
+Sabre currently implements a JavaScript backend, but a C backend is in development. WASM, ARM and x86 are planned.
+The backend can be specified in the `Cargo.toml` file in the root of the project:
+
+```toml
+[features]
+...
+
+default = ["backend_c"]
+```
+
+## Available Backends
+
+| Target Language | Identifier     | Stability notice      |
+| :-------------- | :------------- | :-------------------- |
+| Node.js         | `backend_node` | mostly stable         |
+| C               | `backend_c`    | in active development |
