That may be true but I find it curious. Without knowing too much about Rust, it looks like a lower level language than Haskell.

I'd have thought that someone would pick the higher level language first, and go to the lower lever when in need of more control.

Rust is not your typical lower-level language though. It supports a lot of the features that functional programmers expect. It is an eagerly evaluated language that lets you drop to 'unsafe' code where necessary but in its natural form, it is surprisingly high level.
