1000% this. Having worked in Haskell and having learned rust the past couple years. I love Haskell, but Rust really married a ton of the good parts of Haskell with a lot of "soft skill" elements that allowed it to graduate beyond being mostly a research language. It matters that in Rust I don't need to go read some blog posts about type theory if I want to make an API endpoint. It's not even that Haskell the language requires that, Haskell the culture requires that because there aren't (or at least weren't a few years ago) that many people promoting practical Haskell.
