   @Naughtylus @jlamothe Rust is more directly influenced by OCaml, in which the first Rust compilers were written, which has syntax similar to Haskell but allows side effects.

     @jlamothe I don't know much Haskell, but I do like the idea of pure functions. Conceptually.

     Haskell is listed on Wikipedia in the languages that influenced Rust, so I feel there's a good reason this aspect of Haskell wasn't picked up, and I'd be curious to know it.

     @jlamothe Because functions can have side-effects like I/O ?

     Back to learning #Rust today. This example function just smacked me in the face with the realization that Rust isn't #Haskell.
