Haskell is neat, and is one of those things I'll regularly come back to play with in my spare time. A lot of the ideas behind it have made me a better programmer. Rust I've never touched, though it looks interesting. But:

- In my daily work, the work that pays my bills, I regularly use software built in Rust, eg ripgrep.

- About the only time I ever cross paths with Haskell is in those times when I'm going out of my way to do so as part of my tech hobbying.

I think that's an important difference

There are one or two Haskell applications you might touch in real world use without realising that they’re written in Haskell. Pandoc is the obvious one.

Shellcheck is the other one. I'm not aware of any others.

I use Gitit sometimes. Also don't forget Perl 6 has some origins in Haskell. I.e., Pugs influenced the final language quite a bit though Pugs itself is no longer in use.

In cryptoland, Cardano is built on Haskell. This does create a barrier to entry compared to say a Javascript-esque language.
