We need Rust to have great support for ARM microcontrollers before the IoT industry really takes off.

  The relatively low portability of rust programs is definitely one of its largest shortcomings.

    Can you elaborate? Although haven't tried it myself, I was under the impression that it's quite possible to write low level code for at least for x86 and ARM (and AVR?).

      You can write low level code. Tier 1 platform list is very short however. https://forge.rust-lang.org/platform-support.html https://forge.rust-lang.org/platform-support.html

        It's probably unreasonable to expect a wide variety of IoT platforms to meet the "automated testing" requirement for Tier 1 status.

  What aspects of support are you missing today?
