C# was kinda-sorta for this; as long as you're targeting an environment where GC is acceptable. (IE, as long as you're running in user-mode, as opposed to writing a kernel or a driver.)

It does allow for C-style pointers, which might be useful if you need to call a lower-level system API. (Unfortunately, you can't just suck in a header file.)

One thing you might miss is how errors, in Rust, are 0-cost. C# encourages exceptions over error codes, and throwing an exception has a much higher overhead than panic, because it captures a stack trace and allocates an object. (I must admit that I like Rust's error handling over C# because it differentiates cleanly "anticipated" errors versus exceptional situations.)
