It's Embedded Rust Time
by Bart Massey
Embedded development is long overdue for refitting, and Rust is a perfect fit. In this talk (on behalf of the Rust Embedded Working Group) I will make the case for Rust as the next dominant Embedded language, and describe the things that are happening and need to happen on the Rust side to get there.
