Rust is moving closer to wider deployment in industrial and embedded environments now that Ferrous Systems has made a certified subset of the Rust core library available in the latest version of the Ferrocene toolchain. The certification falls under IEC 61508 at SIL2 level. This is a widely used standard in electronics for industrial safety. The core library is crucial for systems that run without a standard library, such as firmware or real-time control software.

Imagine a robot built from 3D-printed parts, tiny motors, and an ordinary marker pen. Each robot is compact and low-cost, driven by two stepper motors with O-rings for wheels and an Arduino Nano as its brain. The pen sits at the center, ready to draw as the robot carefully moves across a whiteboard or a sheet of paper. Early versions moved slowly and carefully drew lines, but the design kept evolving.

Embedded systems demand a balance between software complexity and memory restrictions, pushing for languages like C++ for binary size optimization.
C++ features like templates and smart pointers can affect binary size; developers must navigate their impacts carefully.
Tools like Bloaty are essential for understanding contributions to firmware bloat, aiding developers in design decisions.
Binary optimization should be part of the entire development lifecycle, emphasizing size awareness within CI pipelines.
