> For example a lot of complaints that can be made about C and C++ don’t apply to Haskell yet this list parades a Rust counterpart

I think there's an obvious case for being aware of rewrites from high-level memory-safe languages (not just Haskell, of course) to Rust, although the case is obviously different from rewriting C/C++ code. Besides the obvious improvement in performance (Rust being on par with C/C++ itself) it gives us a better idea of whether Rust is actually missing features from these languages in a way that meaningfully impacts maintainability.
