Of that, I have no doubt. I'm anxiously awaiting esp-openmac's completion, so that I can use Wifi without the ESP-IDF as a dependency. It's the only reason I pull that crate in, because I'm aware of the FreeRTOS dependency.

In my experience, one never really has to work at the bare metal layer in Rust, unless you are designing new chips yourself. All the existing microcontrollers I would think of using already have well worn hals. Truly impressive what the Rust community has accomplished.
