> The hard challenge in embedded is porting to every mcu. Can this be done without convincing mcu companies to do it themselves ? Agreed, but I think long-term its certainly going to be easier doing that on the rust platform with a tool like cargo than the current state of affairs. Maybe if rust just concentrated on the hobbyist/prototypers at first i.e. arduino / rasberry pi, to make that experience as great and pain free as possible and really showcase what can be done with rust and cargo. That would at least make it a viable tool for professors teaching the next gen of engineers and all the startups/prototypers/hobbiests.
