I am glad for your comment because I work with mcus and embedded solutions in C, so Rust, in that case, wouldn't be neccesarily safer than C.
I will have to look into it. I need to do 30h of training every two years, so I will learn Rust regardless, but I was thinking about eventually switching to Rust for embedded projects. Might just keep Rust as my scripting language because it is easier for me than Python
It's an interesting discussion. As someone who doesn't actually deal with this and who literally never used Rust, I feel out of me depth. But it does sound like Rust has much better mechanisms to catch a programmer's mistake. See my reply to the other guy.
