@ekuber@hachyderm.io ahaha, yeah okay so I had the pleasure of teaching Rust to a pal with that *exact* background (professional-level Haskell and C++) a couple of years ago, and it was *incredible*. Traits? No problem. RAII? Sure yep of course. Pointers? References? Mutability? Unsafe? Check, check, check, and check. I swear it took like about an hour before they were working through the intricacies of PhantomData. I was stunned. It was great lmao.
