Re:Google says replacing C/C++ in firmware with Rust is easy by mplanchard on Sunday September 08, 2024 @10:59AM (#41480803)
3.5 years into maintaining a large rust codebase and this is not my experience at all.

Type signature bikeshedding is extremely rare in PRs.

Refactors can be large, but the fact that they are possible to do safely across the entire codebase with confidence in the result is a major improvement over most other languages.

I wouldn’t go back to writing most other languages if I could avoid it, especially for anything large or performance-sensitive.
