I'm completely in this boat at the moment. We are doing a hardware refresh of our embedded platform and I'm looking at the feasability of using Rust. I'm at the point where I think it is close to being viable, but seems very young. Most likely we will go with a platform that can support rust, and write the low level modules with the intent of using rust, but not use Rust just yet, but do a side project to asseses the viability of doing as much of the software in Rust as we can. ( and get the devs learning Rust ). I am what I like to call a multi stack developer, so I'm super comfortable with a lot of languages and platforms, but the embedded devs I work with are microcontroller focused C devs and it will take some time to be convinced, conceptually they like the idea, but as soon as they try and write something serious they are going to feel frustrated and likely make a mess. But Rust has a LOT to offer the embedded world.
