Get used to the idea that embedded is 15 years behind PC. Which is initially frustrating but if you step back is kind of a good thing.

I’d also like to see Rust make it’s way into embedded. C support for things like data serialization or RPC for interfacing to web stuff is limited, people just don’t port it to C. And C++ doesn’t thrill me in terms of its non-deterministic garbage handling and difficult to debug nature. Rust though, seems modern and still safe, but I looked over the crates for embedded it’s prstty slim pickings!

When I see mfgs pushing out their own Rust libs, or a professional IDE with support I can buy that uses the Rust compiler, I’ll give it a try. Until then, it’s clearly hobbiest-only.
