Haskell's Children
>  It manages to be much faster than most dynamic languages ... It would be unfair to compare the performance of Rust and Haskell, because Haskell is optimized for things other than performance.<p>Hmm...<p>> When I first started using Rust, I really missed monads.<p>Option and Result are Monads. Surely he misses do-notation.<p>> This all being said, I think it is worth looking at the features that are prominent in Haskell that ended up going to Rust ...[list of features that Rust got from SML/ocaml]<p>Here are the officially stated Rust influences: <a href="https://doc.rust-lang.org/reference/influences.html" rel="nofollow">https://doc.rust-lang.org/reference/influences.html</a><p>To say that Rust is a child of Haskell is really overstating the case.
