Having done a lot of embedded work in both C and assembler, I'm really excited by the prospect of a type-safe, memory safe language with zero-cost abstractions that can compile down to [more or less] the same machine code that C would produce.
For those interested, check out Jorge Aparicio's (japaric) RTFM2 series:

It’s a big leap from hobbiest to commercial with embedded. If I was part of the Rust group I’d be directly real resources into real embedded projects. You check Cargo for embedded now and might find a couple unsupported header files for different micros. It’s going to be a long time at this pace.
