I would go on a limb and say Rust (or more specifically, a limited dialect of it) could become a good language for beginners if:

- the compiler had better life time inference, so that you wouldn't need to annotate simple functions and introduce beginners to complex issues related to lifetimes, i.e it should "seem" to work like python, initially.

- better learning resources for absolute beginners are developed, step by step tutorial, an easy to install full IDE with friendly error messages etc.
