alt Hacker News> works really well in Rust and TypeScript too
And of course Rust and TypeScript were heavily influenced by Haskell... they just don't mention it and call things differently, to avoid the "monads are scary, I need to write a tutorial" effect. Though it's less about monads and more about things like type classes.
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

Rust has typeclasses so that can't be it.
Rust's influence was OCaml, not Haskell. Its first compiler was written in OCaml. Its syntax directly looks like OCaml and C++ had a baby. It's got ML smells all over it. Haskell is not the sum of Hindley Milner-esque languages.
Personally, never enjoyed Haskell's syntax (or lack of it) and tendency to overthinking. But I did enjoy SML/NJ and OCaml to some extent.

Rust wikipedia says otherwise
