Except Haskell, Scala and F#. They are neither academic nor rabbitholes. You're simply not familiar with them - perhaps a trip outside of your safe space could be something? :) Car and crd is lisp and from the 60:ies, basically. You can liken them to assembly instructions because that's kinda sorta why they're named like that. I still stand by what I said about them. If you write Rust for 1-2 years, I bet you you'll come to look at programming in those languages completely differently. I have a very high carry over, going in to Rust from those languages.
