I wouldn’t say that I’m obsessed with Rust. However, it’s the sort of language I’ve wanted essentially since I started programming: a Haskell/OCaml-like language with the sheer performance and practicality of C++.

I’ve been a long-time user of Haskell, but I can safely say Rust has supplanted it almost entirely for me at this point. I never would have felt comfortable betting on Haskell in a commercial environment. Rust? Absolutely.

Can you expand on why you would not bet on Haskell for commercial work? What are those things that make Rust suitable for it but not Haskell in your opinion?

This is cool to hear. I've been interested in Haskell/OCaml to learn functional programming. Rust has other cool applications like WebAssembly too. I think I'll start learning it after I learn Clojure (trying to get into functional stuff first with Lisp).
