this is worth an Adafruit blog article on it.

Rust is moderately popular on desktops.

But Rust may become a most popular programming language on microcontrollers possibly sweeping and taking the world over.

unfortunately, rust is still difficult where it comes to memory, tracking ownership can easily become difficult except for the simplest apps. it could make 'difficult programming'

c/c++ will still be around, but rust is a 'direct competitor' to micropython etc. and would run quite well on mcus with just adequate resources to run rust.
micropython would still have its niche, but it cannot compete vs the leaness of rust as rust is compiled and not intepretated.
rust possibly compete vs arduino and even all the rtos(es), rust is practically its own embedded os
