I do agree that Rust 'feels' more like C++ than Python or Java. But then, from my limited experience with dabbling into Haskell, to me it feels more like Haskell than C++. In Rust, from the language perspective, I have to deal with things like these: - Doing Option<T> -> Option<U> - At what point do I do Option<T> -> Result<T> - Should I transpose Vec<Option<T>> to Option<Vec<T>> now or later? - Often reaching for algebraic data types - How to map over this to collect it into what I need - Ah, it needs to implement Hash, Eq, PartialEq ... SomeTrait to make it work the way I want - Pattern matching all over the place All of which to me mentally feels more like something along the lines of F#, OCaml or Haskell than C++ that 'normal people write'.
