Linux & Microsoft win 11 both support native drivers in rust.

Rust is a great (possibly best) way to build wasm. Wasm is extremely powerful.

Name one language to do both secure blockchain smart contracts, & device drivers, and embedded systems.

And it can use pyo3/maturing to expose code to python. Many significant python libraries are rewriting into rust. Clang/llvm targets means that rust can go anywhere C or C++ can go, including very esoteric systems.

I don't think the jury is out, it just doesn't have mainstream corporate penetration yet, it may never have that and that's fine.

Rust community can/will write bindings to anything, there is no need for other options, people don't realise how powerful rusts polyglot approach is.

Consider this - you may just have had the Rust kool-aid and you don't even realize certain fallacies. Also, you say wasm is extremely powerful - but is it as useful as it is powerful? Is it the future? I doubt that as well.
