Commercial embedded OSes, game consoles, for example.

Seems like game consoles for example has been accomplished by at least one dedicated team even if the vendor nor upstream provide official support: https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/78bowa/hey_this_is_ky...

I’m sure if Rust becomes more popular in the game dev community, game consoles support will be a solved problem since these consoles are generally just running stock PC architectures with a normal OS and there’s probably almost nothing wrong with the stock toolchain in terms of generating working binaries: PlayStation and Switch are FreeBSD (x86 vs ARM respectively) and Xbox is x86 Windows, all of which are supported platforms.
