The article is really light on actual details.

Basically, this is a company who uses ESP32 to read serial data from batteries using UART and retransmits it in json over MQTT. They apparently had buggy C code to do that (for unspecified reasons) and successfully rewrote that in Rust.

Conclusion, you can write ESP32 code in Rust. No information on what that actually entails sadly.

I was just about to point this out in my own comment but yours sums it up quite nicely. As an embedded software guy this article gives next to no specifics or details on what the bugs were and how they got solved with Rust.
