MAKE IT?

NODE MCU Didn't even try - maybe JERRYScript will triumph
What's the deal with iot.js and JerryScript?

@slsoftworks 

OR BREAK IT?

well, more like fix it, but still...

@slsoftworks 

What rust then?

@slsoftworks 

...like ever... - Death To C

Don't DO THIS

Criticizing the Rust Language, and Why C/C++ Will Never Die

Use the correct tool for the job
Mark Surman, Executive Director of Mozilla Foundation

A Programming Language is a tool

@slsoftworks 

What is rust?

• A new programming language
• Predictable high performance
• Memory & thread safety
• Compile-time error checking
• Powerful multi-paradigm syntax
• Minimal runtime, no garbage-collector
• Multiplatform (Unix/Windows/OSX)
• Modules+package manager (Cargo)

@slsoftworks 

But HOW?

@slsoftworks 

When's rust the right tool?

• Speeeeeed
• Power consciousness
