    Am I dumb or what’s up with the radio stuff on the left? 😅 Is rust common for some sort of radio programming?

      The image was modified, I think the original said something like “we’re gonna listen to Russian number stations on shortwave radio”

      I think the original text was about ham radio.

        And yet it’s still relevant because HAM radio operators are weird like that.

      I mean, presumably there’s a microcontroller in this radio. For programming that, your only real mainstream choices are C, C++ and Rust, since you can’t have a language runtime without a filesystem.

      But yeah, it’s neither the case that Rust is overwhelmingly popular for that (C/C++ do stick around still), nor is it the only discipline where Rust shines.

      Check this guy out, doesn’t even have any radio equipment in his IDE
