Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

Google has presented a practical approach to gradually introduce Rust into existing firmware codebases. The approach replaces new and high-risk code with Rust using drop-in Rust replacements for C functions. In this post, the Google team shows readers how to build Rust code in bare-metal environments, covering how to choose and port libraries, create custom targets, and integrate Rust panic handlers and allocators.
