Yes, although I could have just as easily said "low-level systems programming" as embedded. I try to keep in mind that when people say "embedded" they may mean anything from ARM Cortex M series to Raspberry Pi 4s.

Rust is really good when it is control of everything. I love Rust for communication stacks (USB, CANBUS, etc.). Bytes in/state in to bytes out/state out is right in its wheelhouse. Apparently Google agrees--their new Bluetooth stack (Gabeldorsche) is written in Rust. When Rust has this kind of clearly delineated interface, it's really wonderful.

However, Rust does not play well with others as my examples point out. To be fair, neither do many other languages (Hell, C++ doesn't play well with itself). However, that's going to be a disadvantage going forward as the future is polyglot.
