Huh? You can of course already use rust on microcontrollers. If you
want to use rust, the way to go is rustc which is based on llvm. Not
sure if gcc and rust will become friends at some time but llvm is
not the badest choice regarding performance. Actually ARM has
migrated its official toolchain from gcc to clang. Here you go:

I currently still prefer C++, even on 8-bitters but seems rust will
be something to consider. Another, not very well known, ancient
language used for embedded system programming is "ada". You will find
it in mission critical systems, typically defense and space usecases.
