[adhoc_slime]

In general I'm not mad, the learning curve of both combined was a lot and beat me down, and the rp-hal library is still beta and ironing out its kinks. I experienced a lot of frustration (and still do) around USB HID implementations. Simple things I thought would be given, eg sharing an rp-hal I2C bus was made tedious by rust's ownership rules.

I think the matter of embedded programming being difficult was just exacerbated by this. I'm just a hobbyist in the embedded world, and I really find it fun and interesting, but as a hobbyist I only have limited time to be working on my project and I want something to show for my time, besides rustc messages about my unsafe code.
