Personally I think it's a bit early for Rust to displace the incumbents there, but if any modern language has a chance, it's probably Rust IMHO. Consider one of the largest and most popular game engines right now (UE4), that's a huge codebase and rewriting it in Rust at this point doesn't make a lot of financial sense, even if it could technically be done.
It seems to making some inroads in the embedded space from what I can tell too, but rustc will need to have a wide range of architectures supported before it can replace C/C++ there too.
