Rust and Lua api
There's the rlua package for running lua in your rust app: https://github.com/amethyst/rlua

What is your favourite Rust specific feature that you miss in other languages?
Some sys crates do embed the source files, like rlua for example.

I hate automod and have a question
Yes though, given that a CCleaner/BleachBit-style situation is going to be I/O-bound, I'd probably go with rlua, PyO3, or rust-cpython for plugins.

Ketos: Lisp dialect scripting and extension language for Rust programs
I wrote up some rust low-level bindings for guile [1]. The problem is that Guile liberally uses setjmp/longjmp, which breaks rust destructors. It might be possible to fix this by wrapping every call the way rlua does [2], but I'm not familiar enough with Guile to know.

Rust's interface to the Lua programming language is called 'mlua'. not Lust. This should get fixed.
And.. another binding finally called rlua https://github.com/amethyst/rlua

Does rust have function works like eval?
hlua or rlua are what you want for Lua, rust-cpython or PyO3 for Python, rutie for Ruby, and possibly deno_core for JavaScript.

I open sourced a game I just released on Steam, written in Lua
Janet is what introduced me to Fennel. Conjure [1] sold me on Fennel over Janet. The Neovim community is rallying around Lua.
(And in fact, what sold me on Rust was its truly excellent Lua FFI support [2].)

Are there any embeddable languages in rust?
The C++ language doesn’t embed Lua, various game engines (and other applications) written in C++ do, using an API binding that provides a C++ wrapper around Lua’s underlying C API. Well there are Lua bindings for Rust as well (as a randomly selected example see hlua), and there are bindings for several other languages as well (like Python).
