Sure it will. Compile them to Web Assembly first :)

People have already run Rust code through Emscripten. (It's not well supported at the moment, but the amount of work to be done to polish it up isn't large.)

I am a firm believer in native code and consider Emscripten and Web Assembly nothing more than fads.
