If &mut makes Rust not in the ML family then none of the languages they list are in the Smalltalk family either—there's no concept of an image, everything is in files!
It's pretty clear that we're talking about very broad families, which is okay—Rust has more in common with ML than it does with Smalltalk or ALGOL (though the ALGOL heritage is definitely present).
