> A lot of the things rust brings to the table aren't always relevant on embedded platforms. Dynamic memory allocation on embedded is the exception, not the rule. Everything is statically allocated, so memory management is relatively simple -- everything sticks around forever.

In that case, you can simply not use the dynamic allocation features of Rust, just as you can simply not use malloc() in C.

Absolutely, but then what does it buy you over C/C++? It has a few 'nice to haves' over that, but in this domain those won't tend to be nice enough to motivate most people to bother setting up toolchains purposed for it.
