RUST Programming Language - An Alternative to Embedded C??

Rust, is a systems programming language developed in 2010 by Mozilla Research. It is consistently rated most beloved on Stackoverflow's annual developer survey. More and more organizations are looking to make use of Rust including Microsoft. Several organizations in the embedded space are already using Rust.

High Level Features and Low Level Control are often at odds in programming language design especially in Embedded. Rust challenges that conflict. Rust gives you the option to control low-level details such as memory usage without all the hassle traditionally associated with such control in C.

Good work, thanks. WRT the many C target architectures (which is quite true), I suspect that RISC-V is going to make that a lot less important. It scales from very small systems to quite large ones, and its economic advantages are so compelling that I can't see those old proprietary architectures getting many new design wins in 5-10 years. My guess is that the processor landscape will soon look like this: x86, ARM, RISC-V, and some background noise.
