It’s absurd on its face.  Is Rust just giving up on the embedded / microcontroller space?  Maybe they never cared about it in the first place, but if true it seems to greatly reduce their viability, in my mind, as a serious language.

Then again, I always thought Rust was a solution in search of a problem.
