kibwen comments on "Rust-Doom: A Doom renderer in Rust, with no unsafe code"

Rust and Scala may be cousins due to their ML influence, but Rust itself isn’t particularly influenced by Scala. In contrast, there are quite a few design decisions in Rust that were lifted directly from OCaml. Calling Rust “C++20 + OCaml” would be a decent categorical starting point.

(Caveat: the lead designer of Rust’s type system, Niko Matsakis, has done a fair bit of work with Scala, so there may be subtle influences.)
