I agree. But I think it'll be hard to see Rust really make progress until hardware makers worldwide start really doing 'Rust First'. And the problem there, is that Rust is a bit inaccessible to many. Rust trades of absolutely everything for performance - and that's just not the trade-off we want to make in most scenarios. Even for most embedded systems - something that's easy to program, easy to read, easy to support, great tooling etc. is worth more than a 'a bit faster performance'. If we were to have created something ideal for embedded systems, it would not be Rust. I think it'd be a bit more like Go. Or just like a 'Safe C' with a lot better built-in libraries. I like Rust but I fear it is not 'the one' and the bandwagon has already left the station so we have to go with it.
