Formatting Is Unreasonably Expensive for Embedded Rust

Realistically, the embedded community will just bypass rust and stick with C, C++, and other more suitable languages.

Embedded Rust usage is growing all the time. The formatting problem is not a blocker; it's just a "papercut" per the article. C and C++ have their fair share of annoyances too.

The open minded embedded community is getting themselves busy with C++, Ada, Real Time Java, MicroPython, CircuitPython, JerryScript, Pascal, BASIC and Oberon-07.

So Rust can naturally also play there.

Then there is the embedded community stuck on Assembly and C89 mentality, where even C++ doesn't manage to get a foot on, let alone Rust.
