Programming language subreddits and their choice of words 12 years ago
It's great to look at correlations between Rust, C++, and Haskell. Rust programmers are very interested in Haskell, and Haskell programmers Rust; which indicates that Rust's design has a lot of influence from Haskell. C++ programmers are talking about Rust more than anything else; which shows that they are likely interested in moving to Rust.
This is very exciting to me, because I believe Rust is going to be a great replacement for C/C++, and if anyone understands how to create quality programming languages, Haskell programmers do.
TL;DR Rust is going to be the new C++, and the new Lisp. These are exciting times.
