> Arm and Ferrous Systems bring Rust to Cortex-R82AE, enabling memory-safe, high-performance real-time systems for physical AI Working on this has very rewarding and I can't wait to see what you build on top of these building blocks. developer.arm.com/community/ar...

** Speaker announcement ** Catch Cliff L. Biffle's talk 'Common Pitfalls of Rewriting Things In Rust' at RustWeek 2026! Info & tickets: 2026.rustweek.org/talks/cliff/ See you in Utrecht May 18-23, 2026! #rustweek2026 #rustlang

wanna hear about what it's like teaching Rust in higher education? learn about the embedded scene? the hippy lore of unconfs? all that and more in the interview with Bart Massey! (video below)

🚀 Ferrocene 25.11.0 is out – and yes, it’s open source! Ships our first IEC 61508 (SIL 2)-certified subset of core, enabling certifiable Rust for safety-critical systems across multiple architectures. ⚙️ + updates from Rust 1.89 & 1.90. 🔗 Release Notes: public-docs.ferrocene.dev/main/release...

It's time for the State of Rust Survey! The Rust Project invites you to take this year’s survey, whether you have just begun using Rust, you consider yourself an intermediate to advanced user, or you have not yet used Rust but intend to one day 🦀

🦀 I've improved the implementation behind all the string formatting macros in Rust: println, panic, format, write, log::info, etc. (Everything using format_args!().) They will compile a bit faster, use a bit less memory while compiling, result in smaller binaries, and produce more efficient code! 🎉

“We adopted #rustlang for its security and are seeing a 1000x reduction in memory safety vulnerability density ... with Rust changes having a 4x lower rollback rate and spending 25% less time in code review, the safer path is now also the faster one.” security.googleblog.com/2025/11/rust...

Them: But no-one is using Rust in Production Me: Well, actually… ferrous-systems.com/blog/rust-wh...

If you do #embedded #rust on the #rp2040 with elf2uf2-rs, and you struggle with the recent "Unrecognized ABI" error due to a change in Rust's elf header for `thumbv6m-none-eabi`, I've landed StripedMonkey's patch in both Arch Linux and Homebrew, so if you use those packages, things should work […]

What makes a Rust crate friend shaped, for you specifically?

Really Small Rust by Cliff L. Biffle at RustWeek 2025! youtu.be/NKsPEZzA4XM #rustlang #RustWeek

Today we're switching the bzip2 crate from C to 100% rust: trifectatech.org/blog/bzip2-c... Thanks to: Alex Crichton and Radically Open Security, and to NLnet Foundation for funding the work through the e-Commons fund with financial support from @minbzk.bsky.social‬ #rustlang #rust

The talks from RustWeek are now available on YouTube! It was great fun and a big honour to get our Rust efforts: youtu.be/2JIFUk4f0iE?...

In part 2 of our air quality monitor project, we’re driving the microbit’s full LED matrix using async Rust: youtu.be/uZDcWA8cCsw

People always ask me “so is AWS using Rust?” Happy to be part of this article shining some light on how Rust is changing the way services are built in AWS.

New project series starts today! In this one we learn a little about I2C & where it fits into embedded Rust: youtu.be/vT4-bvHCbE0

Live from the 10 Years of Rust celebration in Utrecht, Netherlands, we are very happy to announce a new version of Rust, 1.87.0! See the blog post and release notes for all the details! blog.rust-lang.org/2025/05/15/R...

Here are all the posters I designed for RustWeek 2025! 1. "Box<impl Future>" (Back tot the Future) #rustweek #rustweek2025

I am counting the days until @rustnl.bsky.social starts. The tickets have sold out! Looking forward to meet rustaceans, again or for the first time.

Ferrous Systems (I work there!) have agreed to contribute the Ferrocene Language Specification to the Rust Project and allow the Rust Project to take over its development and management rustfoundation.org/media/ferrou...

Even if it's just a number, it feels good to put an official version number on something and have it published. Thanks to my employer, Akiles, for supporting me working on this kind of stuff! embassy.dev/blog/trouble/

No. C++ is not “under attack” (www.theregister.com/2025/03/02/c...). It’s sad, because it reduces the likelihood of (or pushes back) any real progress on the topic.

Today I published arm-targets, a Rust crate that looks at your target string and lets you mark code as only working on specific versions of the Arm architecture. Ideally Rust would have built in target features for this, but it doesn’t. crates.io/crates/arm-targets

It is EXTREMELY cool to me that: * Use of Rust on Embedded platforms is such a high percentage of the ecosystem (16.8% bare metal, 12.9% with an OS) * The usage is increasing year over year Check out the survey results! blog.rust-lang.org/2025/02/13/2...

On my way to FOSDEM for the first time since 2014! I wonder how much it has changed.

I did the podcast thing! It was great fun chatting with Matthias Endler on his “Rust in Production” podcast. We talked about our little Rust based ECU at Volvo Cars and how it came about. Check it out: corrode.dev/podcast/s03e...

Alright, finally my bug hunt retrospective blog has been published! tweedegolf.nl/en/blog/145/... Want a deep technical dive into a really weird error that took ages to find and fix? Then this is for you. #embedded #rustlang

Hey, if you're a Rust and/or embedded person, and you use the probe-rs toolkit (pretty much everyone does in embedded and Rust!), you'd be doing me a huge favor if you took a minute to fill out their survey and/or share internally or with people you know: forms.gle/FRtUwuFCCKgK...

In this one we learn about using embassy to do embedded development with async Rust: youtu.be/pDd5mXBF4tY

If you regularly use git, I highly recommend fork.dev. It simplifies all interactions with git and is invaluable if you do frequent non-trivial operations (rebase, cherry-pick, rewrite history, etc.).

@chriskrycho.com and @steveklabnik.com have piqued my interest in Jujutsu. I read their blog entries/tutorials and watched a couple of videos. The design goals for Jujutsu (jj) are exciting.

Our next event will be a dinner social on January 8th: www.meetup.com/rust-atx/eve...

For the last few days, I have been trying two alternatives to Visual Studio Code for programming in Rust on my new laptop. I must first acknowledge how much LSPs (in this case, rust-analyzer) have changed the game for editors.

Alright, release time! device-driver is now 1.0! Really happy with that. Took a lot of work. Find it here: github.com/diondokter/d... Additionally, I released sequential-storage 4.0.0 containing a small possible breaking change. Find it here: github.com/tweedegolf/s...

If you'd like to see USB device access in VS Code (ex. for programming and debugging,) upvote this issue. github.com/microsoft/vs...

Oh hey, look at Arm starting to write official "Rust for Embedded" learning material 👀 (spotted by @thejpster.bsky.social) learn.arm.com/install-guid...

The 2024 State of Rust Survey is up: blog.rust-lang.org/2024/12/05/a... If you are using Rust (beginner or expert) or wants to, please take a few minutes to fill in this survey. This will help shape the future of the language and the community.

We have landed on bluesky! 🦋 Give us a follow to keep up with everything embedded Rust 🦀 Join 3.5k+ Rustaceans and subscribe to our bi-monthly newsletter below👇 www.theembeddedrustacean.com/subscribe #rustlang #embedded

It’s happening!!! 🎉🚀⚙️🦀 github.com/rust-lang/ru...

Many think Rust is primarily about memory safety, but the real reason to use Rust is developer productivity (for C++-like system programming) from having a sane package manager and type system.

I’ve created a starter packet for the Embedded Rust community on Bluesky. Reply if you or someone you know should be on this list. go.bsky.app/G3wxTcN
