Syntax wise Rust seems heavily inspired by the "good parts" of Scala. - Pattern matching via "match" - if being an expression (among most things) Those are both found in Scala.

Didn't Scala get both of those things from ML?

  Yes, and Rust has more direct lineage to OCaml than Scala (initial version was written in OCaml, and the language had a more ML-ish syntax early on).

    I guess then it would be more correct to say that Scala and Rust share a common inspiration in ML languages.
