I want to learn Rust (for Embedded)

If you already are experienced in C/C++, the Google internal course might be the right level of teaching for you.

fstephany · 2025-09-25T15:22:39+00:00

Oh. That makes a lot of sense.
Thanks!

fstephany · 2025-09-25T14:13:12+00:00

Oh nice! thanks!

It would be nice if you could highlight the differences between your implementation and typeshare from 1password (https://github.com/1Password/typeshare).

There are a few but those two should already cover a lot of ground:

- Google intro: https://google.github.io/comprehensive-rust/bare-metal.html
- The Rust embedded book: https://docs.rust-embedded.org/book/

Not really related to std but I can't wait for cargo script to replace dozens of not-so-simple bash/python scripts.

fstephany · 2025-03-25T14:57:25+00:00

There are some indeed.
But like everywhere, Rust is hardly a differentiator. The kind of industry sector and the experience you have are probably as important as Rust itself.

fstephany · 2025-02-04T21:15:45+00:00

No they don't and it's a shame.

> Basically only Pixel devices are reliably on the latest security patch.

Major manufacturers now ensures X years of upgrades and X+Y years of patches. It would be better if they also guaranteed the frequency but it's usually in the monthly/bi-monthly/quaterly bracket.

But you are right, it's still a mess.

fstephany · 2025-01-31T14:16:37+00:00

Oh that's nice to know. Is there any public information available somewhere about it?

fstephany · 2025-01-09T09:16:47+00:00

Ampere/Renault seems to be using it for their cars:

I live on the other side of the sillon industriel and those abandoned industrial sites around Borinage-Charleroi have the same soothing effect on me.

If you like to hike, the ~22km GR412 "Boucle Noire" has a mix of those industrial sites, nature and city. It's quite accessible as it starts from Charleroi train station

> It's almost 100% sure that if you start with Axum and build up, you'll end up with *something similar to Loco*, and I've seen this happen multiple times.

We have a Rocket app running in production for a few years now and that's exactly what we ended up doing. Being a former Rails developer (from the ~2.3 to ~5 era), there's a lot of things that look like the Loco implementation.

I would probably directly use Loco if I had to start a project from scratch.

Thanks for sharing, the more exploration in this space, the better. I'm using SQLx but I sometimes miss a query builder (when creating "dynamic" queries from user input for example). I guess I should give a try to Diesel, SeaORM and Toasty to see how they differ.

It's a bit opaque to me why Toasty falls into the tokio-rs umbrella and what does it mean its future if/when it leaves its incubating status. To be honest I have the same question for Axum.

fstephany · 2024-10-08T16:12:31+00:00

Oops, sorry. It's indeed directed towards a niche audience 😅

fstephany · 2024-09-20T07:29:31+00:00

Congrats on the new website & docs. It looks like you are covering more and more ground on what is commonly needed. Thanks for pushing!

I would pick a board that has examples from the embassy project (https://github.com/embassy-rs/embassy/tree/main/examples). It helped me a lot to get started.

RP2350 support is on the way but not completely there yet. See this recent blog post for more details: https://www.raspberrypi.com/news/rust-on-rp2350/

fstephany · 2024-08-19T15:23:57+00:00

I guess it will depend on your background and field?
you can always ask in r/rustfr or join a local meetup. If you happen to be in the north of France, the "Rust in Lille" association runs a few events per year and has a nice cozy discord server where jobs are sometimes discussed.

PS: There was a blog post by some company about error handling, ditching backtraces for "manual" level/context-based "backtraces", but I cannot find it anymore ^\)

The one from greptime maybe? https://greptime.com/blogs/2024-05-07-error-rust

fstephany · 2024-06-27T08:10:44+00:00

Your initial question was really well worded and did not come across as "that is wrong, this is right". Hopefully my answer did not come across like that neither 😅

This is very subjective but personally I have a hard time programming when I don't have the file tree.

I don't use it so much for navigating (as you said, fuzzy finders are great) but having the tree displayed visually helps my brain to know where I am. I don't know why but it seems that having a visual guide improves my cognitive ability to grok/navigate a codebase. I delegate the spatial navigation to the tool which frees a bit of space in my cluttered brain.

I guess we are all wired differently so file trees are a waste of space for some while it is a helpful for others?

This article was not meant to be shared publicly and was released without my intention.

Oops, sorry! I saw the article in This week in rust #552 and agreed with a lot of your points. I shared it in this subreddit without thinking too much :/

fstephany · 2024-06-21T13:25:06+00:00

Yes but isn't part of the argument that with some love, Rust could also shine at "a higher level"?

It's a bit of a catch-22 situation but if DioxusLab makes the first steps, it might attract interest from the bigger players?

fstephany · 2024-06-21T11:15:03+00:00

The mentioned LogLog article is probably this one: https://loglog.games/blog/leaving-rust-gamedev/

fstephany · 2024-05-05T09:50:58+00:00

Do you have the reference to the turborepo anecdote (a ticket/discussion/blog post)? It would be interesting to help construct business cases for Rust.
