Unlocking Possibilities: 4 Reasons Why ESP32 and Rust Make a Winning Combination
Many of the crates maintained publicly for different embedded devices/microcontrollers have no official support from the manufacturers. Espressif on the other hand, has teams invested in supporting Rust for their devices. This makes a significant difference in the speed of development, documentation, and tooling mainly. Many of the Espressif team members are also available on the esp-rs matrix channel interacting with community members. In addition to the points mentioned, there have been really useful efforts like esp-template and espflash that make setting up an environment a breeze. This is all in addition to supporting development crates like the different device hals.

Safety vs. Performance. A case study of C, C++ and Rust sort implementations
It actually does. You can modify Rust to run without stdlib, reducing its size significantly. There are also tons of tricks to make this work really well so it's very close to C performance.

ESP32 Standard Library Embedded Rust: GPIO Control
To get started with environments and hardware the Rust on ESP Book provides a great starting point. However, if using Wokwi, much of that is not needed.

Unlocking Possibilities: 4 Reasons Why ESP32 and Rust Make a Winning Combination
Good places to get started with std Rust on ESP include the Rust on ESP book, Embedded Rust on Espressif by Ferrous Systems. There's also the Awesome ESP Rust GitHub repository that contains a lot of useful material and project examples.

Embedded Rust on ESP32: compatibility issue with esp_idf_hal and embedded_hal?
I'm not new to microcontrollers or Rust, but I am new to trying Rust on an ESP32. I have followed the Rust on ESP book, and I have everything compiling and flashing fine, at least with a very basic "Hello, World!" printed to the serial console.
