When both @ahl and @bcantrill are singing the praises of Rust, you wonder if all our other languages should just shut down and go home. I'm reminded of @paulg's "Java's Cover" in reverse.https://twitter.com/ahl/status/1244678124505149445 …

A few years old now, but Alex Light did a senior honors reimplementing the 169 OS in Rust, and wrote up some of his observations. Not sure how current, but I found it really useful then. The thing that most surprised me was his trouble with allocation. http://cs.brown.edu/research/pubs/theses/ugrad/2015/light.alex.pdf …
With the push towards embedded + WASM, custom allocators have been implemented, so this should no longer be an issue. e.g. see https://docs.rs/wee_alloc/0.4.2/wee_alloc/ …
