DSP Programming With Rust!
The Rust programming language gets a lot of attention when it's used for programming web apps and network servers and compilers running on POWERFUL servers or desktops.
But we shouldn't neglect the SMALL and the EMBEDDED!
The Rust for Low Power Digital Signal Processing article by Cyril Fougeray gives us an EXAMPLE usage of Rust for DSP in the embedded world.
A "nRF52832 microcontroller on a PCA10040 development board" is the target used for the purpose of example in this article.
After the experimentation, the article describes a POSITIVE outcome wherein Rust may possibly be considered a suitable alternative to C for embedded programming such as DSP applications!
