I have found them to be very similar too. I started learning Haskell in earnest last September, following along with the exceptional "Haskell: First Principles" which I highly recommend. I had been toying with Rust around this time and I found a confluence of ideas between the two languages. Most things I learned in Haskell I was able to carry over to Rust. The inverse was not quite as true. But I still love Rust. Any time I need something performant, or I just want to play around, it's my first choice.
