I would love to use Haskell. The main reason I stopped writing Haskell and started writing Rust was that I could more easily teach new programmers Rust due to better compiler error messages, and Cargo is 10000x easier to use than the Haskell package managers, which never seem to be able to resolve the right set of versions for me.

Being able to write a lot of functional Rust and drop down to imperative/mutation when necessary also eases the curve compared to Haskell.
