Rust; though admittedly I may have missed news that someone made it work.

C/C++ is /the/ language for microcontrollers -- least they're the only
languages I really see anyone in the IRC channels I hang out in talking
about -- some of us will talk assembly, but it's niche.

"Arduino" too (but that's somewhat more restricted specifically to the
"#arduino" channel).
