Embeddable Rust

This video is part of the TechXchange: Rusty Programming.

This is a series of interviews I did with Jonathan Pallant, Senior Embedded Engineer with Ferrous Systems, about the Rust programming language and its use in embedded systems. Rust is the only programming language, other than C, that's allowed in the Linux kernel. Actually, Rust can be used for kernel-level drivers at this point. 

This video series addresses the following topics (watch the complete series in the video above):

1. What should embedded developers know about Rust?
2. Rust Memory basics and borrowing
3. Concurrent Rust
4. Rust Polymorphism
5. Rust Cargos and Crates
6. Considerations Interfacing Rust and C
7. What is Ferrous Systems doing with Rust?

Rust originally targeted web applications, but it's intended for bare metal and embedded applications as well. It includes features found in languages like C++, Java, Ada, and SPARK to make it easier to write bug-free code. And Rust forces a more rigorous use of memory, offering attributes such as polymorphism and current programming that aren't found in C.
