Run 2024 Embedded WG Micro-Survey

Open jamesmunns opened this issue 1 year ago • 23 comments

I realized that the Rust survey team has the option to run "micro surveys" on behalf of Rust teams: https://github.com/rust-lang/surveys/blob/main/micro-surveys.md

I wonder if it's worth us putting together a survey for the embedded ecosystem, asking things like:

  • Are you currently using embedded rust for hobby/school/work/none/in the past but not now?
  • How long have you been using embedded Rust (0-6+ years)
  • If using for work, how many devices/year is your company shipping currently using Rust?
  • What architectures are you using (Arm/RISC-V/Xtensa/other)
  • What chip families are you using (STM32/nRF52/RP/ESP32/etc)
  • What frameworks/RTOSs are you using (Bare/Embassy/RTIC/Tock-OS/ESP-IDF/Hubris/other)
  • How are you using Rust? (Only Rust, Rust as primary with C components, C as primary with Rust components, Rust tooling only (off device))
  • What tools do you use as part of your development process (Cargo, probe-rs, defmt, other)
  • What are the most common crates/libraries you use in your projects (free entry)
  • What are your biggest complaints or blockers for using Rust in your projects (free entry)?
  • How happy are you with using Rust for embedded (1-10)?

Open to feedback and suggestions for questions, note that we should not ask for any PII or DEI information, as per the micro survey guidelines
