It's Embedded Rust Time
summary
Argues Rust is ready for embedded with concrete wins: Cargo and crates.io power cross‑compiles, embedded-hal traits enable portable drivers, Cortex‑M/R and RISC‑V support exist, ESP32 vendor funds a compiler backend, and Embassy provides an async runtime that actually ships usable code. Ferris Systems ships a safety‑certified subset (addressing automotive ISO needs). Teaching/materials (micro:bit 2 discovery book, Rust Edu) are growing but middle‑market on‑ramps need work. Real bugs like the AirPlay buffer overflow and use‑after‑free show why memory safety matters and why no-std, heap‑optional toolchains are urgent.
