Embedded systems mean tradeoffs: tight memory, no OS, hardware that won't forgive a mistake. Rust's pitch here isn't to "start over" — it's what happens once Rust enters an existing system one module, one driver, one UI layer at a time, without a rewrite. At Oxidize 2026: workshops on adding Rust to existing C code and on osdyne, a Rust embedded OS. Talks on bare-metal UI with no OS, and shipping a Rust RTOS in production. Berlin, Sep 14–16. #RustLang #Oxidize2026 #EmbeddedSystems #Embedded
