Writing a small async runtime for Cortex-M micro-controllers with Rust

This article explores how to create a custom async runtime for ARM Cortex-M microcontrollers. We’ll adapt Philipp Oppermann’s work for x86 bare-metal systems to Cortex-M and design a simple Task struct and Executor to run async tasks.

Blinking LEDs with Rust

Rust is a modern programming language focused on safety, speed, and concurrency. It’s a go-to for system-level tasks, offering strong guarantees against common bugs like null pointer dereferences. Embedded systems, with their resource constraints and real-time demands, could really benefit from more Rust.

Reusable Forms in Swiftui

I’ve been recently doing a lot of programming using Swift and I’m quite enjoying how intuitive it is to pick up. It also helps that SwiftUI generally produces good looking user interfaces with less effort than other things I’ve tried.
