I am so to speak an industrial entreprise developer working with Vxworks on a medical device. This is exactly the kind of context where you don't mind if the compiler takes a bit longer or if you have to fight the borrow checker in exchange of not having a data race or a memory leak with catastrophic consequences at the wrong time.
Today we are using static or dynamic code checker (which are not cheap) but it would be so much better if we could simply not create some kind of issues in the first place.
I know that Rust is not a silver bullet either but having some Rust support in Vxworks makes so much sense. This is basically my secret wish of the last few years coming true. If anyone at Windriver is reading this, thank you!
It does not mean we are going to rewrite everything tomorrow, but at least we can seriously consider that for new features we could introduce some Rust services in a few years likely.
