I have a friend at work, Al Bennett (see cc:), who is looking for a project to dig into using RUST to program an embedded systems board. The ESP8266 series came to mind because he has some (and they are cheap) and a simple lighting control project would be a good starter, but it could be on something else. He is not interested in the Arduino IDE (ie. C++) route, or microPython, but is not adverse to using an OS as long as the main programming uses RUST.
He explored the RUST users group meetup, but they are mostly web designers, and he wants to explore embedded systems with it.
