Early versions of Rust "started out" with GC: the language was broadly similar to Golang, though with a lot of influence from Ocaml and functional languages more broadly. The comprehensive use of borrowck to avoid GC altogether was only implemented around 2014 or so, hence shortly before the Rust "1.0" release in 2015.
