Lambda World 2018 - Rust and Haskell, sitting in a tree - Lisa Passing 

I watched this video because I was interested in Rust, but the side-by-side comparisons of code snippets versus Haskell just sold me on Haskell. If something needs speed optimization, then isolate that piece of code and optimize it only, keeping all of the rest of the code so much more readable and maintainable, rather than switching entirely to a low-level language and dealing with all that extra unreadable crap throughout the entire codebase.

Rust syntax is ugly compared to Haskell

Rust doesn't have as nearly a religious fixation as Haskel does; Rust will continue to ascend and Haskel will continue on as a cult

Like umm, like aaa, like, um, like... nice talk!

type inference, pattern matching, "trait-based generics", zero-cost abstractions have almost nothing to do with functional programming
