rosrust VS ros-noetic

You could look into openrr. They've got plenty of robotics-related software written in Rust. There's also rosrust for Rust-implementations of the ROS library. I know the Gazebo program is often used in conjunction with ROS for simulations, but I don't have any personal experience with it.

In Robotics, the Open Motion Planning Library (OMPL) is a popular library for multi-dimensional motion planning, and is used by ROS and other robotics-related software. There are no Rust bindings to OMPL (though there is Rust support for software like ROS), and the library is written almost exclusively in C++. There are Python bindings, but those are generated using Py++. The header files throughout OMPL are C++ header files, not C, as they contain namespaces, classes, etc.

rosrust: A pure Rust implementation of the ROS client library

So is ROS? Rust, C (ROS 2 only), C++, Python, ...

Check out https://robostack.github.io/. It has distributions of ROS which can be installed on a PinePhone.

Robostack (https://robostack.github.io)

Take a look at robo stack - they distribute ROS through condaforge - https://robostack.github.io/

One could use https://robostack.github.io/ to install ROS tools inside a python environment isolated from the rest of the machine

The Robostack project is packaging ROS core distributions and many third-party ROS packages built against existing conda-forge dependencies as much as possible to make things more convenient for roboticists. That's mostly how I've been using ROS for well over a year now. The virtual env isolation is great, because otherwise robotics code tends to get tied to a specific Linux OS version. Disk space is cheap, I'd rather have the flexibility and a few 4GB environments lying around.
