@starbreaker yes tbh for a "system programming language" rust is remarkably unfit for low level stuff

@piggo
How do you mean? The entire reason I'm learning it and deciding to work with it is to do low level stuff. Do you not find it adequate for that?

@mister_monster @starbreaker what i've seen of embedded rust made me love C

rust is good for performant stuff working above posixy APIs, implementing multithreaded algorithms and stuff like that, but most low level things end up being just uglier syntax for C or outright binding to C to do the dirty bits ime
