What Hacker News says
2 sourcesI agree with a sibling comment point that Arduino's main strength is that it simplifies the installation of tooling, not that the code is particularly easy. But, on the code side, I think that embedded-hal is excellent

Here are the supported boards

There's a book on rust on esp https://esp-rs.github.io/book/
Here's how to blink a led using esp-idf-hal, targetting espressif

/! Blinks an LED
//!
//! This assumes that a LED is connected to GPIO4.
//! Depending on your target and the board you are using you should change the pin.
//! If your board doesn't have on-board LEDs don't forget to add an appropriate resistor.
