Rust is the closest thing to Haskell that I can run on a processor without an MMU.

There's a pareto frontier of "best available language for a given project", and I think Haskell dominates the portion of the pareto frontier where you don't have super tight physical/memory/real-time constraints, and Rust dominates the portion where you do. This is by virtue of their similarity.
