What this episode covers

Milica Kostic, an embedded software architect with a background in electrical engineering and safety-critical industries like medical devices, discusses her journey from C/C++ to adopting Rust in production. She explains that the most successful adoption occurred in a greenfield embedded Linux project using a microservice architecture, which allowed for clean isolation of Rust code and minimized complex C/C++ interoperability challenges. Kostic highlights the benefits of Rust's tooling, such as Cargo and built-in static analysis, while noting current limitations in microcontroller support, IDE tooling, and certified stacks like BLE.

    Across the Chasm with Rust

    Steve Klabnik and Luqman Aden, engineers at Oxide Computer Company, discuss the evolution of the Rust programming language, focusing on the stabilization of features like `let_chains` and `async/await` as the catalyst for crossing the chasm from early adopters to mainstream systems programming. They analyze how Rust's strict stability guarantees, enforced by tools like Crater, contrast with the burnout risks seen in other language communities, while highlighting specific language features such as inline assembly, const generics, and captured identifiers in format strings that improve developer experience. The conversation also covers the psychological shift required to trust the compiler, the importance of tooling like Rust Analyzer and Clippy, and the community's approach to managing experimental features via nightly builds and RFCs.

    404: Uppercase A, Lowercase R M

    Reinhard Keil, founder of Keil Software and now Senior Director at Arm, discusses the evolution of embedded tooling from the 8051 compiler to modern cloud-based development. He explains the architecture of CMSIS, detailing components like SVD and DAP that standardize device support, and highlights the shift toward cloud-native IDEs like Keil Studio and Arm Virtual Hardware. Keil argues that commercial tooling provides essential compliance, long-term support, and device integration that open-source alternatives often lack for industrial applications.
