oh its funny.. of all the rust trend storm I cannot recall one mention of automotive industry usage (not that I imply it's not used.. I just don't remember hearing about that).. this is a place where I'd really love safer languages.

btw any embedded car ADA shops ?

There's unfortunately no hardware or standards support for Rust, nor will there be any time soon. Silicon vendors don't provide Rust compatible toolchains, and the standards everyone is locked into is C/C++ only

Apparently volovcars is using Rust for development: https://jobbsafari.se/jobbannons/embedded-developer-for-core...

There are also Ada, Basic, Pascal compilers, but definitly not on the car industry, and in what concerns Java it is only used by some infotaiment systems.

NVidia is using Ada for their automative research.

There are some rumblings of Rust in automotive, but nothing I can publicly point you to definitively.

Ferrocene, a Rust toolchain for functional safety, is explicitly targeting ISO 26262, which is an automotive standard.
