Not yet, since the Rust-in-Linux work hasn't been merged yet. And even once it is, it won't be usable in the core kernel yet. But I'm hopeful that io_uring will be able to make use of Rust in the future.
And the userspace bits will definitely be possible to do in Rust. As soon as this ships in a stable kernel, I plan to add a code path in the Rust standard library to launch processes this way. :)
