> As a rust programmer that programs C++ on embedded, the main thing preventing adoption is the ecosystem. Maybe the mindset of the industry as well? Not sure if things have changed (and if so, how) but 9-10 years ago when i was in university I had an interview with a company that did embedded systems stuff. While talking about my competencies I mentioned I was able to create cross-toolchain if they were interested and the guy (he was kinda like the CTO iirc) abruptly interrupted me and just said: "no. just no. we always and only use the vendor's BSP (board support package). we don't care about anything else. should there be any kind of issue we want to be able to ring them and get them to fix the issue.". How do you get people (or an industry?) with such a mindset to just use something because it's trendy? My guess is that industry will wait another 10-15 years until some vendor big enough ships a rust toolchain as a BSP. Other vendors will follow. Then Rust on embedded systems will flourish.
