But the full quote is: "I doubt that we'll see it used for low-power/resource-constrained firmware, but lots and lots of embedded systems are now bulky Linux boxes with years of uptime, and I can see Rust making inroads there." There is a massive number of devices between an 8-bit PIC and a Cortex-A. Obviously you're not going to use Rust on a tiny PIC or similar, hell that architecture is outwardly hostile towards even C. I'm guessing these very low power chips will exist for many years to come, but a lot of work has moved over to things like Cortex-Ms which absolutely benefit from things like Rust.
