    The other thing that I thought about is to use Raspberry's hardware timers, but the HAL library I'm using doesn't provide access to that. So the only to use it would be using Assembly directly into the Rust code, which is intriguing, but I don't know if it's worth it, because I would have to spend a lot of time studying since I'm not familiar with it.

    Hi, I'm trying to learn Rust and one of my project for that is to use Rust to read and react to a rotary encoder connected to GPIO pins on a Raspberry Pi. Using the RPPAL library, everything works extremely great. However, the code for setting the interrupt callbacks look rather crude to me for some reason.
