Agreed. I personally am interested in Rust after doing some research for parallel semantics. The state of the art language is usually some pure functional programming language coupled with a garbage collector, which is not suitable for the type of embedded development I'm thinking of.

Doing alias analysis on mutable pointers seems to be inevitable in so many areas of programming and Rust is just one of the few programming languages brave enough to embark on this idea.
