Yeah great, that makes Rust look like a good embedded language.
What about AVR though? I have been following the rust-avr fork for litterally years now, and it just got merged. It's still highly unreliable though, and Harvard architecture related bugs can make you pull your hairs.
If the rust community is going to promote embedded rust, it would be good to invest some effort in a wider spectrum of architectures. The language itself should be mature enough to take a break. Expanding the architecture range would be very welcome by a lot of people.

The folks who work on the language just aren’t the same people who would implement a new LLVM backend. We would love mature Rust support on as many platforms as possible, but it’s non-trivial. In this case, ARM stepped up themselves to help make this happen. If other vendors want to help us make Rust great on their platform, we’d love to have their support.
- mlindner 6y agoI'm quite sure they'd be happy to have you submit patches to add better support.
