# 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 |
