Interview
summary
University courses teach a few hundred students Rust over eight years and show which fixes matter like NLL lifetime model removing old borrow‑checker failures and the ergonomics wins that actually changed class outcomes. Embedded work centers on the Embedded Discovery Book using a $20 micro:bit and on Embassy for async embedded; Tokio handles most server async but async/await and executor internals remain the hardest-to-teach pieces. Community channels include the Rust Embedded WG Matrix and Rust‑Edu for educator collaboration.
