> Is there a good reason to say that Rust is an OCaml dialect? There is, maybe, grounds to say that all languages with S-expressions, first class functions and garbage collection are just a type of lisp. But I would not say that all languages with strong static typing, some form of type inference, algebraic data types, patterns matching and functional programming features, are a dialect or OCaml, or ML.
