Can AI not help speed this up?

As someone who DOESN'T use Haskell... What specifically is it missing?

Are you conflating ecosystem with tooling?

Rust is quite expressive. Is Haskell really substantially much more?

I do think Rust is a great language for LLMs because I think expressiveness is key.

Haskell is more easily compared with e.g. OCaml than with something like Rust. (It's worth noting that OCaml now has its own 'rustified' development OxCaml.) The main practical difference is that Haskell is idiomatically based on lazy evaluation, whereas OCaml is strict. This makes corecursive patterns a bit easier to express in Haskell, but OCaml and OxCaml are friendlier wrt. performance concerns.

Just as Haskell with Linear Haskell.

That's a fair question. It's part ecosystem, part tooling. The ghcup, stack, cabal mishmash is closer to maven than a tool with a modern streamlined UI like cargo.

And yes, Haskell is significantly more expressive than Rust--at the cost of performance.
