Apparently this has been fixed already! It's on nightly still though. Should've opened the issue earlier so I wouldn't have posted a duplicate 🙈
Dion Dokter@diondokter.nl · 4mo agoAnybody know why rust-analyzer is showing me an extra '/' in the inline doc view? This happens when I generate code using the doc attr and with '///'. Rustdoc is rendering it fine, so... RA bug? Just wanna make sure I'm not missing anything before I open an issue :)
After 4 months of PRs, Rust now has a complete I/O module in alloc, and most of one in core. Hopefully a stabilization PR could even be accepted before the end of the year, who knows! doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/allo...

Traits, helpers, and type definitions for core I/O functionality.

Testing the code of a newly written HAL is an essential but tedious, not to mention recurring, part of our work; so Vivian and Tamme developed a PoC for a universal test suite! Read more here: tweedegolf.nl/en/blog/240/... @0x76.dev #rustlang #embedded #softwaretesting
PoC for universal hardware-in-the-loop HAL test suite — Tweede golf
Developing HALs is great fun, but testing them can be a hassle. That's why we developed a Proof of Concept for a universal hardware-in-the-loop HAL test suite.

Ok, putting it out there so there's a higher chance of me getting it actually done :P It's my aim to release device-driver v2 this month
github.com/embassy-rs/e... I love a checklist and this checklist is the best guide I am aware of "how to effectively write async embedded rust drivers for microcontrollers" I am aware of today. Parts written by myself and @balbi.sh for MCX-A, expanded by @dirbaio.bsky.social for all of embassy.

How to speed up the Rust compiler in July 2026
My last post on the Rust compiler’s performance was in December 2025. Let’s see what has happened since then.

Btw, to be clear, I still think embassy is a nice project and I'll continue using it and contributing to it. As far as LLM usage, embassy has been more on the thoughtful side mostly. It's a good quality project and I expect and hope it remains so.
I don't know who needs to hear this, but you can click and drag the subtitles in a youtube video to anywhere in the player. This is particularly useful for a software tutorial where the latest things being typed are at the bottom of the screen covered up by subtitles.

Async Rust vs RTOS showdown! — Tweede golf
It's time for another technical blog post about async Rust on embedded. This time we're going to pitch Embassy/Rust against FreeRTOS/C on an STM32F446 microcontroller.

It's becoming more normal for pay terminals to show those percentage buttons for tipping in The Netherlands. I refuse to use it. I will not participate in this rotten practise. Just raise the prices and pay the people properly if they need more money. I don't want this tipping culture here.

Some really nice improvements to crates.io recently. I'm very excited about a future "diff the source code of a crate between these two releases", which will make auditing dependency upgrades much easier! blog.rust-lang.org/2026/07/13/c...

I've been successfully nerdsniped, so here is sequential-storage version 8.0.0: crates.io/crates/seque... Most notable are changes in caching and a new page state cache that has a fixed 24 byte cost instead of 1 byte per flash page. So it's great for large storages and has almost the same perf.
