1 replyI hope Rust Embedded will get funding. From my limited experience, Rust was such a great fit to do embedded programming, but APIs change too often and nice libraries still rely on older ones, projects like embedded_hal and their dependencies need some support/funding to keep it more mature.

1 replyIn general there has been a lot of progress going to embassy from consumers, but it would be a lot better if support also came from chip manufacturers. Only Espressif is currently explicitly funding rust embedded (primarily their own platform of course).
