Discussion on: Which Language do you Find the hardest ?

Rust is a relatively new language which targets more or less C++ niche, so part system programming, part more high level stuff like games or simple web services. There are many cases when old UNIX tools were rewritten in Rust, giving huge performance improvement. One I use daily is repgrep. Also fd.

Haskell on the other hand is very old hardcore functional language with complex and strict type system. I've seen Haskell used for many things. One successful commercial project was CGI processing for movies. I don't think it has a canonical use case as a language.
