Er, no, Rust started out pretty solidly as a functional language. It used to look like an ML variant, with purity and stuff. And it had a GC. It's lost most of that now. It also used to have green threads up till 1.0 (they were removed pre-1.0), we're now adding them back. And they're being added back as a library, not as part of the language. It moved away from both of these.
