Hmm I don't think so. Haskell is so fundamentally different to imperative languages that it requires basically throwing away everything you know about programming. To learn Rust you simply need to understand how values are kept track of by the compiler. Once you develop an intuition for this it's the same as any other modern imperative programming language.
