- smilekzs 8y agoquoting catwell: > I think they mean "embedded" as in "embedded in a program", not "targeting embedded hardware".
- steveklabnik 8y agoI'm not sure about ARMv5, but v7 and v8-A are Tier 1 for Firefox, so we get a pretty decent smoke test out of them. The thing about embedded is that it's quite diverse, so speaking about it in broad terms is tough. It goes from "lol nope" to "barely works" to "pretty decent" to "great", depending on which thing you're talking about. We have a whole working group this year working on embedded.
- Nullabillity 8y agoI've been using embedded Rust for my thesis project (ARMv6-M), and it's been a pleasure.
- nixpulvis 8y agoIt's been a focus of the team, and been getting better. With efforts being made to move some external tools into the mainline toolchains. Last I checked it was possible, but still a bit cumbersome. P.S. Really looking forward to writing Rust on AVRs.
