Rust is great. While working with Secure Enclave’s isn’t the same as a microcontroller per se (many SE’s work in tandem with powerful chipsets), at MobileCoin we’ve found a lot of benefits from using Rust. Rust appears to provide the ability to largely move to a world where the bugs are in logic and not in buffer/array verification or multi-threading. It feels like a real advancement to move up a layer of abstraction from plumbing to design. Time will tell, certainly it’s not impossible to have bugs in rust by any stretch of the imagination, but I have found that bugs in rust code tend to be more interesting than “out of bounds memory exception at line X.”
