> Today, I see similar reactions to leading edge technologies and languages that are difficult to understand, whether they be FP, Rust, or Haskell. I wouldn't lump all three together just because they may happen to be somewhat difficult to understand. I see your point regarding FP (and Haskell happens to be an FP language). However, Rust is a multi-paradigm language, just the way C++ is. Time and time again in my day job, I see issues in our code that Rust would have prevented at compile time (and we're not using C++).
