Welcome back to the Rust Review series, where we dive deeper into the Rust programming language, guided by insights from some of the community’s brightest talents. In this eighth instalment, we’re excited to feature a contribution from Tue Henriksen, founder and organizer of 'Rust Aarhus', a vibrant and inclusive Rust community in Denmark.

In addition to his role as a Software Architect and Developer, Tue has successfully built 'Rust Aarhus' from the ground up. In this blog, he shares valuable insights on how anyone can achieve the same.

In October 2019, I started a new job. Like the other developer jobs I had in the previous 20 years, this was in the embedded area. I had just started to read the Rust book, and luckily, my manager thought it would make sense to try using Rust instead of C/C++.
