Until chip manufacturers officially support rust, my clients will not want me to use an unofficial crate no matter how good it is.

ESP32 has official support, and others are working on it. I think it will come sooner than you and I might think

I hope that it comes sooner than later. But I cannot offer Rust to most of my customers until it is officially supported.
