Any interest in Rust

1

Hey All,

Are there any other members excited by / learning Rust?

There are a lot of people beginning to use it for embedded systems in place of C.
A cool example being Wesley’s badge from LCA.
(I think that example is running a rust binary on top of Linux, but I believe it would be possible to write it for bare metal (you just lose the standard libraries of course, and would likely need to write more code to compensate)).

I’m interested, as there’s certainly some benefits over C.

I guess I want to understand first how far along it’s come for the most common microcontrollers, e.g. what’s required to code for any of the STM32’s, or any other ARM cortex M for that matter.

I’m less interested in using it as a systems language in Linux, I just don’t do much of that.
