I suggest taking a look at D[0] optional GC if you need to get that low level. A bit older than Rust.

From what I've seen so far (just getting started with D), I like D a lot:

* compiled, statically-typed, GC'd

* _very_ fast compilation (this is DMD; haven't tried the other two implementations (one on LLVM, the other on GCC))

* very fast executables

* easy linking with and use of C libraries

* familiar and practical
