The Embedded Rustacean Issue #37

January 17, 2025

In partnership with

Hello and welcome to the Embedded Rustacean! This newsletter is a bi-monthly curation of resources and a summary of everything happening around embedded Rust ๐Ÿฆ€. This newsletter was started because of the belief in Rust as a programming language with all the traits ๐Ÿงฌ (pun intended) that prime it to become the future of software in embedded systems. Weโ€™re another issue closer to that vision.
