Why Rust is the future of robotics

It is extremely difficult to write safe code. C and C++ use of memory is 
unsafe and prone to human error. Many bugs are due to buffer overflow, 
data corruption, or read/write in unallocated memory. Not only these are 
very hard to detect and debug but many attacks and virus take advantage 
of it. The more complex your project become, the harder it is to 
maintain it. Said in another way: embedded programmers fear adding extra 
functionalities because it could break everything!

Rust combines the advantages of low level languages such as C and 
C++ — mainly running really blazing fast with a really small 
footprint — but with a lot more guarantees that usually come from higher 
level languages. It prevents segmentation faults, guarantees thread 
safety. And where Rust particularly shines is that it enables all these 
safety and abstraction with no additional cost at runtime. Their motto is:

Rust: fast, reliable, productive — pick three
