Opposite experience for me. Writing Rust on embedded systems greatly improved my confidence and speed. When using C a small mistake often leads to undefined behaviour and headaches. Rust theres none of that - its been a game changer for me.

I was using rust on embedded, I moved to zig. Very happy with it as you can pass allocators around to use fixed buffer.
When you are developing hardware on an FPGA, a lot of hardware bugs look like they have locked up the CPU and strangely enough, a lot of undefined behavior looks exactly like a hardware lockup...
