Florian Gilcher, co-founder of Ferrous Systems
and the Rust Foundation, speaks with host Giovanni Asproni about
the application of Rust in mission- and safety-critical systems.
The discussion starts with a brief overview of such systems, and
an introduction to Rust, emphasizing aspects that make it
well-suited for critical environments.

Florian and Giovanni then discuss how Rust compares to C and C++
— two widely used languages in this sector. They proceed to
outline important factors that companies should consider when
assessing whether to move from C or other languages to Rust. The
episode also touches on Ferrocene, an open-source Rust toolchain
qualified for safety- and mission-critical systems, which was
developed and supported by Ferrous Systems. The conversation ends
with some reflections on the future of Rust for mission- and
safety-critical applications.
