I guess I can't say much about it. I am barely past a beginner as far as Rust goes, but I have not seen much embracing a functional style. In fact with the emphasis on (mutable) references vs values; it seems to pretty much encourage the antithesis of functional programming. What I really love about functional programming is the simplicity of understanding what is going on from looking at the code; functional programming does that by guaranteeing a "function" is always-and-only acting in a specific, simple way. Rust does it (not quite as strictly to my learning-eye) with forcing the tediousness of references/mutability up to the signatures.
