Stable rust is perfectly fine. The vast majority of Rust users are on stable only.

Unless you want to try out Rocket. That one STILL requires nightly...

in terms of cognitive load, yes

i have yet to understand that feeling

We don't code in a vacuum.

Reading third party code is part of the job so language features reach us regardless.

I really enjoy using Rust for personal side projects. It made me a better C++ developer. I'm excited about stabilized const generics to be able to speed up my linear algebra code. This issue though prevents me from recommending Rust for closed source development to my colleagues: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/40552

It is helpful to leave comments on issues like this, by the way.

Maybe read a bit on Deref: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/ops/trait.Deref.html Any time you have a &String reference, it triggers coercion to &str.

Unfortunately that is not always the case. This fails to compile, for example (and is fairly irritating): let my_str = "Hello".to_owned(); match &my_str { "Hello" => (), _ => () }

try &*my_str

VS Code is one of the more popular ones, although it doesn't really qualify as an IDE. IntelliJ is probably the most popular IDE for Rust development.

Any chance to see increased support for 8bit AVR in upcoming releases? I know Rust is community driven, so it's not like contributions will appear from thin air. But I guess maybe it would be time to promote/incentivize people to contribute support for microcontrollers. This is a realm where C reigns and Rust would be a bowl of fresh air.

32 bit microcontrollers are well-supported, and often cheaper, more power efficient and with more features than old 8-bit uCs. https://github.com/rust-embedded/wg

Maybe, but 8bit MCUs are simple, efficient, have a huge community & resources, and more importantly exist in convenient DIP & SOIC form factors.
