The Embedded Rustacean Issue #2

Hello and welcome to the Embedded Rustacean! This newsletter is a bi-weekly curation of resources and a summary of everything happening around embedded Rust ๐ฆ. This newsletter was started because of the belief in Rust as a programming language with all the traits ๐งฌ (pun intended) that prime it to become the future of software in embedded systems. Weโre another issue closer to that vision.
๐ย Thank you to the 500+ subscribers who joined since the first issue!ย ๐ย
