Rust: Not So Great For Codec Implementing

Good to hear. I'm sure there is a large group of developers sitting on the sidelines that check in from time to time hoping to be able to leave C behind.

Has anyone on the rust team tried reaching out to get input/contributions from companies who are heavily invested in the embedded world? I know xilinx pours a lot of effort into language research, they do seem like an very proprietary company though.

We reach out and talk with companies regularly. We are both happy to organize a meeting with companies who approach us, and often (~yearly) organize calls with multiple companies using or evaluating Rust at once whom we reach out to. I believe there have been some of these focused on embedded stuff, but I wasn't on these calls.
