Yet barriers to Rust adoption remain, particularly in safety-critical systems , where features such as memory and processing power are in short supply and compliance with regulations is mandatory. In our latest podcast from the Carnegie Mellon University Software Engineering Institute (SEI) , Vaughn Coates, an engineer in the SEI's Software Solutions Division, sits down with Joe Yankel, i nitiative Lead of the DevSecOps Innovations team at the SEI, to discuss the barriers and benefits of Rust adoption. ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/software-engineering-institute-sei-podcast-series-389154/episodes/the-benefits-of-rust-adoption-for-mission-and-safety-critical-systems/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/software-engineering-institute-sei-podcast-series-389154/the-benefits-of-rust-adoption-for-mission-and-safety-critical-systems.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
