Yes! Rust WG! [ADLINK](https://www.adlinktech.com) is all in on rust. [Eclipse Cyclone DDS](https://iot.eclipse.org/adopters/#iot.cyclonedds) sister project [Zenoh](http://zenoh.io) is 100% Rust. [zenoh-plugin-dds](https://github.com/eclipse-zenoh/zenoh-plugin-dds) gives ROS 2 scalable fault tolerant discovery; bridging via wireless (WiFi, 4G, 5G, LoRa) for swarms, V2X, cloud; and micro-controller support with rmw\_zenoh for micro-ROS being released soon. Here is presentation & ROS 2 demo done for Autoware TSC [https://youtu.be/VQ-Fvm4vIYg](https://youtu.be/VQ-Fvm4vIYg)

Here is a cyclonedds rust binding [GitHub - atolab/cdds-rust: Rust API for Cyclone DDS](https://github.com/atolab/cdds-rust)  
… and here is another because our friend [Sojan James](https://www.linkedin.com/in/sojan-james/) of Samsung [HARMAN Automotive](https://car.harman.com) “wanted to give my favorite DDS a binding for my favorite language” [GitHub - sjames/cyclonedds-sys: Rust binding to cyclone-dds https://github.com/eclipse-cyclonedds/cyclonedds.git . Still experimental.](https://github.com/sjames/cyclonedds-sys)  
Read Sojan’s “[The case for using Rust for Automotive software](https://medium.com/@sojan.james/the-case-for-using-rust-for-automotive-software-19400779f126)”
