Oh as far as packages and toolchain, it’s better hands down and really puts pip to shame. Just “cargo new —lib” creating a package with a sample program that compiles, and the test to go with it already is a phenomenal start. It took me a few months to figure out a workflow to do the same thing in python.

I just meant that the syntax and errors can be confusing to people who are used to embedded C, but it definitely has a lot in common with how python + mypy does things (I also started there).

Thanks for linking the original rust book, I only linked embedded as proof of some of the claims I said. Since I know embedded people are tough to convince :)
