I own a home router (TP-Link Archer C7) and I have been running OpenWRT for many years on it, having full control over it via SSH. A few years back, I had an idea for an daemon process/service to improve a certain thing in its functionality. I was delighted to find out that the MIPS chip that powers the thing was supported by Rust, and I coded a "script", cross-compiled it to a binary and SCP't that to the router. It ran beautifully. After that (and running Rust on a few other embedded systems, including an ARM Cortex-R chip) I became convinced that Rust is the next C for the embedded.
