We passed on Rust for Ada/SPARK2014 to write to bare metal on Cortex-M processor for real-time, high-integrity, and verifiable mission-critical software. Rust is making strides to be a future competitor, but it's new to the formal verification tooling and lacks any real world legacy in our domain. Ada's latest spec. is 2022. Other than AdaCore's verified Rust compiler, Rust still does not have a stable language specification like C/C++, Lisp, or Ada, SPARK 2014. I have no doubt that it will start rising to tick all the boxes that Ada/SPARK do right now with their decades of legacy in high-intetrity, mission-critical applications. The mandate to use memory-safe software put into effect this past Jan 1 2026 puts some wind in Rust's sails, but it's more than memory-safety in this domain. Plus, I do not enjoy Rust, but Cargo is nice. We're looking at Lean for further assistance in verifying our work. I think there was and is lot of Rust evangelism that will also carry it forward and boost even more Rust popularity,
