Having done a lot of embedded work in both C and assembler, I'm really excited by the prospect of a type-safe, memory safe language with zero-cost abstractions that can compile down to [more or less] the same machine code that C would produce.

For those interested, check out Jorge Aparicio's (japaric) RTFM2 series:

(in particular the sections titled "Preemption" and "Critical sections and Threshold")

Me too. But until I see Segger/Rowley or any of the second tier IDEs below Keil and IAR pushing first party support, I can’t even consider it.

It’s a big leap from hobbiest to commercial with embedded.

If I was part of the Rust group I’d be directly real resources into real embedded projects. You check Cargo for embedded now and might find a couple unsupported header files for different micros.

It’s going to be a long time at this pace.
