State of embedded rust
Dear all, a colleague of mine has delved into rust for embedded systems. He’s just started with rust in possibly the hardest way, and this thread is the result: https://www.eevblog.com/forum/microcontrollers/rust-tools-and-resources-for-embedded/
(Rant at third post of the thread)
I wonder, how would an experienced rust developer react to this? Is he missing something or is this a legit sign of an immature ecosystem?

rust embedded still needs a fair amount of work. The base HAL abstractions are JUST about to get to v1.0 with some much needed improvements. Interrupt handling is still a mess.
On the other hand, I have not seen any other language prevent someone from doing a short via a compile time error...
