Rust and Haskell don’t shy away from powerful features. As a result, both languages have steep learning curves when compared with other languages. Trying to learn Rust or Haskell can be frustrating, especially in the first couple of months.

But if you already know Rust, you have a head start with Haskell; and vice versa.

In this article, we want to show how knowledge of one of these languages can help you get up to speed with another.

We won’t cover all the similarities or differences and won’t talk about language domains. Our main goal is to show the bridge between the languages; you can decide whether you want to walk it.

We won’t cover syntax as well, but get ready to switch between indentation and braces, as well as read code in opposite directions.
