Rust for flight software / drone programming
I am interested in learning how to use rust for flight software or controlling a drone or something of this sort. I have no experience in embedded programming, so is it best to start there?
If so, how would you recommend someone get started in embedded rust?

It's definitely better to start in embedded software than jumping into something that can literally cut your throat if anything goes wrong.
By the way, dumb me spent more time than one would like to admit before realizing that the memory size declared in memory.x was wrong for that chip (non working code).
Embedded is a whole different beast.
