    • Twiggy is a code size profiler for Wasm. Use Twiggy to make your binaries slim!

• https://github.com/yewstack/yew

  • Yew is a modern Rust framework for creating multi-threaded front-end web apps with WebAssembly.

• https://github.com/koute/stdweb

  • The goal of this crate is to provide Rust bindings to the Web APIs and to allow a high degree of interoperability between Rust and JavaScript.

• https://github.com/rustwasm/wasm-snip

  • wasm-snip replaces a WebAssembly function's body with an unreachable. Very helpful when shrinking the size of WebAssembly binaries!

AVR Rust

AVR is a type of low-frequency (sub-20Hz in general) 8-bit microcontroller developed by Atmel and owned by Microchip.

The AVR-Rust project aims to add support to the Rust ecosystem so that executables can be generated for AVR, taking advantage of Rust's safety guarantees and ergonomics.

TockOS

• https://www.tockos.org/

  • An embedded operating system designed for running multiple concurrent, mutually distrustful applications on low-memory and low-power microcontrollers.

  • https://www.tockos.org/hardware/
• https://github.com/tock/tock

  • Tock is an embedded operating system designed for running multiple concurrent, mutually distrustful applications on Cortex-M and RISC-V based embedded platforms. Tock's design centers around protection, both from potentially malicious applications and from device drivers. Tock uses two mechanisms to protect different components of the operating system. First, the kernel and device drivers are written in Rust, a systems programming language that provides compile-time memory safety, type safety and strict aliasing. Tock uses Rust to protect the kernel (e.g. the scheduler and hardware abstraction layer) from platform specific device drivers as well as isolate device drivers from each other. Second, Tock uses memory protection units to isolate applications from each other and the kernel.
