You’re trying hard to get the word out on Rust. Are you affiliated with the project in any capacity?
Why exactly does HN always accuse Rust-related posts of astroturfing? This is completely bizarre to me.

#12would love to talk to anyone that is big into drones and video. live streams of builds, etc.

There are two posts from the same person on the front page linking to rust repos. It’s not insane to ask.

Not really, I'm just a fan of the ideas in Rust and it's nice to see codebases that do interesting stuff.
Two of your posts came up on the front page and set off some alarms in my head

#16Is anyone working on flight controllers in Rust? Now that the STM targets are maturing it seems like a perfect target. I can only find stub projects and blog posts right now.
there is https://github.com/copterust/, it's somewhat flying, but still a lot of work. we're in process of porting f3-eva repo to rtfm, so a lot of things are different now, and we have to rethink and reimplement a lot.
we also working on writing drivers and supporting libs as we need them: we've implemented drivers for accelerometers, magnetrometers, pressure sensor, tof sensor, and ported dcmimu algorithm to rust.

A low level flight controller needs only statically allocated memory, so one of the main benefits of Rust is irrelevant. The syntax is still nice though.

Yeah I've been researching Rust a bunch for my own projects. Mostly around doing efficient reinforcement learning and physics engines so I've been finding lots of cool repos as I research.

And the much more stringent error checking, as I don't want a null pointer making my quad mow people down.
