fully agree. rust links to its stdlib statically made its binaries too large for many embedded boards though, one reason I could not switch to it.

embedded is hard to get remote positions due to hardware involvements, which sucks. on a positive side, the job could be more secure sometimes, but then the low pay truly ruined everything, overall it remains to be negative.

You don't generally use the standard library when doing embedded, especially when they're small.

Some of our Rust programs at work, while simple, are hundreds of bytes.
