- Learning Embedded rust
A very interesting solution for high level interface access by less professional developers could be seen in pikascript, which works even on very small devices. WAMR is another project with similar capabilities. Both of them can be very well combined with core infrastructure realized as embedded rust code.

- Benchmarking MicroPython
- Tactility: OS for the ESP32 Microcontroller Family
Is the project available anywhere? I have that hardware, and am on the lookout for demo platforms for the ML/DSP library I am developing (https://github.com/emlearn/emlearn-micropython).
- Ask HN: What are you working on (August 2024)?
- MicroPython native modules + emlearn = fast Machine Learning with easy install
And thanks to the dynamic native modules support in MicroPython this was possible. The project now provides small .mpy files with the compiled C code (around 3 kB), with nice Python APIs to common Machine Learning models. https://github.com/emlearn/emlearn-micropython
