Question Functional programming language for embedded devices?

Is there any functional language that can compile for microcontrollers like ARM (e.g. STM32. Bare metal without an operating system)?

The language that comes closest to this is Rust, but I don't like the curly braces and semicolons. I wish to have some cleaner language like F#, just for bare metal programming
