Please tell me how I can shut off the heap and still use portions of the C++ standard library? You can do that with Rust. C++ just wasn't designed with embedded in mind.

Easy, by actually learning how pros do it.

Certifications that Rust has yet to achieve.

C++ has custom allocators and in-place object construction via placement new. That's even better support than current Rust, which is still limited to a single, global allocator for the entire program.
