It's a real bummer when I see folks who *clearly* don't like Rust writing (multiple!) articles like "is rust ready for embedded? I tried it and still don't like it, so no". It's fine that people don't use tools they don't like! I just wish we had more people who DO USE Rust writing these articles.

Especially when they pre-decide they don't like tools like cargo, or using dependencies, or using any of the tools we've built to make the ecosystem nice. Yes! If you start from the raw compiler, it will be harder, and will take time to get right! You COULD do that, or, just use all the nice bits!

This is very specifically not any one person: there are 4-5 names of folks I recognize that *regularly* write about Rust, and always come away with the same complaints. They usually have another language they are well known for using. This is in blog posts, columns, and embedded conf talks.
