I’m not a rust user per se, but I’m surprised to see it listed alongside Python and Go as a language without a lot of depth. Rust not only has quite an advanced type system (not Haskell level, but certainly the most powerful of any other language as mainstream), but it can also teach the user a lot about memory management and other low-level aspects of programming that Haskell (and many other languages) hide. I mostly write Haskell for my own projects, but one of these days I hope to get better at Rust.
