- pcwalton 7y agoEmbedded Rust usage is growing all the time. The formatting problem is not a blocker; it's just a "papercut" per the article. C and C++ have their fair share of annoyances too.
- pjmlp 7y agoThe open minded embedded community is getting themselves busy with C++, Ada, Real Time Java, MicroPython, CircuitPython, JerryScript, Pascal, BASIC and Oberon-07. So Rust can naturally also play there. Then there is the embedded community stuck on Assembly and C89 mentality, where even C++ doesn't manage to get a foot on, let alone Rust.
