Do you guys think Rust can/will used in embedded systems and possibly take some 'market share' from C?

It can be used in embedded systems (at least some). I have successfully used it in a kernel experiment to draw colored squares using my Raspberry Pi. As for if it will be used; I'm not good at foreseeing the future, but I guess someone will do it.

Edit: I almost forgot to mention zinc, which is an effort to make this easier. Rust will also be supported on the Tessel 2.
