The last post was in 2019, but the archive is still widely read.
Too few sampled comments (2) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN readers link this blog for Rust experiments on constrained and unusual systems, such as getting Rust running on the RTL8710 microcontroller and adding a disk to a Rust rumprun unikernel.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 2 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

Not the ESP8266 of course, but in the same vein you may be interested in effots to get Rust working on the RTL8710: https://polyfractal.com/post/rustl8710/
