Why Embedded Rust

Memory Safety:

Rust's ownership system and borrow checker ensure memory safety without the need for a garbage collector. This helps prevent common issues like null pointer dereferences, buffer overflows, and data races.

Concurrency and Parallelism:

Advantage: Rust provides ownership-based concurrency control, allowing developers to write concurrent code without the risk of data races. The language's emphasis on zero-cost abstractions enables efficient parallelism.

Nice integration with C and C++... and their respective tools

• Rust has a robust FFI that allows seamless integration with C and C++ code.
• Cargo integrates well with tools that are popular in the embedded world, so a C developer needs not learn ALL NEW things. For example the default toolchain components are extended LLVM or GNU components. You can integrate C library and build tools in a seamless manner in your project.

Ergonomics

• Tools are considerably documented.
• Helpful community
• many helpful tools & crates... especially the compiler itself.

Naive but somehow true perspective : Rust enables you to write complex software (even as a junior), your implementation is not 100% dependent on your experience level.
