Tried out a small demo of the embassy async embedded #rustlang framework on an esp32c3: two tasks, one monitoring button press and another one blinking an LED at two different speeds. Need to explore more!! git.sr.ht/~pcein/rust-...

One thing that I have noticed is that /r/embedded has gotten less actively hostile regarding Rust over the last year or so. This thread has pretty positive responses (esp for the sub), and I've been seeing more generally positive comments more often:

People who code embedded in Rust, share your experiences
Some questions that might be asked: * How did it start? * Why use Rust instead of C. * What is much easier now? * What are difficulties? *...

It is very much NOT ready for use, but I'm starting to put the first coat of docs paint on it, in the hopes that it makes it a bit easier for others to contribute (or at least follow along!).

HyperCard is one of the earliest intros to programming I ever had, before I really knew what programming meant.
The story of Atkinson writing HyperCard after an LSD trip is the main reason my netstack is called "Ergot".
RIP to a real one.

We not only taught a machine to bullshit, but told it to optimise for us not being able to tell the bullshit apart from fact. This is exactly what it was designed to do, and I hate it.

If you had a heap allocator for ~400KiB of SRAM, on a 32-bit dual-core MCU (assume the heap is shared w/ both cores), with atomics (I'm talking about the RP2350), what kind of allocator algorithm would you use?
Either knowing ~nothing about usage patterns, or what would you use for what patterns?
