Some fun compiler-adjacent #RustLang reading: How can you make sure [panic!] is unreachable in part of your program? This write-up goes into how we approached callgraph analysis in #Ferrocene – and how you can try it out for yourself!

Hello! Thanks for following Ferrous Systems. What we have here is another one of our colourful squares with our logo in the top left corner. It says: Ferrous Systems with a backwards F that comes in two different shades of blue, green, yellow and orange. 

There's a little signifier box in red that tells you what this post is about. It's announcing New blog post!
What follows is a box that faces from very light blue to blue and there is text in this box. The headline says: Accessing hardware with Rust – which is also the headline of the new blog post we're promoting with this post. What follows says: When it comes to accessing hardware, what should a good API look like? Our embedded expert, Jonathan Pallant, shares his insights from hands-on experience.
Thanks for following Ferrous Systems - we appreciate you.

This is a colorful little square with some text on it. In the top left corner is the Ferrous Systems logo, which is mad up of the words, Ferrous Systems, as well as a stylized backwards F in two different shades of blue, a green square, a yellow square and an orangey-red square. 
There is a category headline in a blue box and it says: Meet us in Detroit! 
Then come the rest of the text in a box that has a white to pink gradient – it's quite pretty. The headline says: 
We’re going to be at ACC US! 
The body says: 
Florian will be there to talk about Rust, Ferrocene, certification, safety-critical initiatives in the Rust Lang community at the Automotive Computing Conference in Detroit, March 24-25, 2026.
Thank you for your interest in Ferrous Systems. Have a wonderful day!

Body Text: Find us at Booth 4-402 in Hall 4. 

We’ll be there with demos, insights into Rust on embedded systems and (of course!) Stickers. Find us under our Ferrocene Ferrous marquee. 

Its a blue square and in the corner is an illustration of the crab known as Ferris. Ferris is wearing a fashionable hard hat with the Ferrocene logo on it, because this Ferris enables critical-safety in a controlled Rust environment thanks to the efforts of Ferrous Systems. You go, Ferris!

A blue square that advertises the latest white paper from Ferrous Systems titled The Business case for Rust & Ferrocene. Description on the square says: 

With growing software complexity and stricter regulatory requirements, traditional programming languages struggle to meet the demands of modern, safety-critical embedded systems. Read how Rust and the Ferrocene toolchain deliver a safer, more efficient approach — blending performance, memory safety, open source flexibility, and certification readiness.

Why Rust? Because it makes commercial sense. If you're unsure if #RustLang is right for your business – or want to convince your CTO that it's time to add Rust to your stack, then it's time to download our white paper:
