> Some particular names used in the examples were introduced by Python. For example the `enumerate` function or `zip`. I haven't seen those names used in programming languages older than Python, I know I might wrong. All the ML dialects that I know have a zip function and ML pre-dates Python by about 20 years. This is particularly relevant since Rust is clearly strongly influenced by ML. > The fact that those are functional I think is not particularly relevant. It's like someone seeing a comparison of Java and Go and saying that those are just the principles of imperative programming, or object oriented programming. The comparison feels right, but I think it would certainly be odd if somebody explained loops in Go as "a Java idiom".
