That's super cool! I have been wondering what could be done with ESP32 if it weren't for the lack of RAM.
As a fun of Rust, one thing that saddens me is knowing these things would be difficult to achieve with a Rust compiler, given the language seems to be vastly more complex.
Unless someone created a subset of Rust without (some?) safety checks, I guess.
Right, Rust is more complex, and it is the complex bits that make it Rust. There are sure some shortcuts possible for starters, for example scope-based lifetimes like in early Rust versions, but still, to make it a worthwhile upgrade over C, it would take some intermediate representation, and definitely more than 700 lines.
There is a lively movement for coding in Rust for esp32, that works, just not on the device I think.
