A comment on Rust on AVR: Safer microcontrollers almost here.

I think that one thing that makes it difficult to write safe microcontroller code is the interrupts that can interrupt the normal flow at anytime. Does Rust on AVR help with this at all, or is it an orthogonal issue?

Yes, really interested in how interrupts can be modelled with Rust. Preferably a safe abstraction without going full RTOS?

My toy OS project has a partial implementation of interrupts for x86_64: https://github.com/intermezzOS/kernel/blob/master/interrupts...

Just enough to get keyboards working, still a lot of stuff to do, but the foundation is there.

Used like this: https://github.com/intermezzOS/kernel/blob/master/src/main.r...
